Description
It´s Swedish thrash and it´s hardcore, but it is not metalcore. That´s bound to please more than a handful of purists out there. Then again, what would you expect from a crust/hardcore/grind label with good taste and integrity like Crimes Against Humanity? Sweden´s END OF ALL features an ex member of WOLFPACK and on Same Shit But Different knocks the hell out of 13 tracks of thrashing hardcore that borrows (not rips off) from bands like AT THE GATES and a representative sample of Swedish D-beat bruisers.
The vocals possess a hard-edged bark throughout, save for the occasional shrill scream, letting those wonderful leads carry the melodies. Though the music does not rip in the same relentless fashion as label mates and countrymen DISKONTO, the style is relentless; it just happens to come with a strong sense of tunefulness that in no way equates to watered down hardcore. In fact, the mix of rambunctious Swedish hardcore, thrash, and melody is as good a combination of elements as I´ve heard in some time. Light shades of that motoring Sunlight Studio sound is apparent as well, but is shoved through a D-beat blender.
