CRUSHING CASPARS
The Fire Still Burns (CD)
GSR


I was, and still is, rather sceptic towards the name of this band. Thank god the music is of better quality, old school hardcore that definitely borrows a thing or two from NYHC. SICK OF IT ALL comes to mind a lot. There's lots of variation, faster songs like the title track, but also slower songs with more groove, "Diabolic boggie" for instance. Good sing a longs as well, so this record pretty much have it all.

I couldn't get into the lyrics at all. I just don't care for scenerelated lyrics. They're supposed to be funny I guess, but they're not to me. "Baltic sea for life"? Come on! This is where this record fails, and it's too bad beacause the music isn't bad at all.
