Heavy:
1.Dead End Path – Blind Faith
Pretty much everything you could possibly want out of a Hardcore record. The production is thick and heavy, the riffs are great, and the lyrics have a lot of depth.
2.Defeater – Empty Days and Sleepless Nights
This is a slower, more measured Defeater than you’ve heard, but it’s just as intense, and the lyrics are just as gut wrenching as ever. This is a lengthy album but not a second of it feels like filler. Don’t miss out on it.
