Axes of Evil vs The Hollowpoints

Axes of Evil vs The Hollowpoints

500 pressed on color recorded at the GAF Church I St. in Bellingham by Rich Canut Mixed and Mastered by Doug Krebs at DIG recording in Portland OR

Razorcake Review
Both of these bands would have been perfect for early-‘90s Epitaph (especially pre-explosion Rancid), and I mean that in a good way, since there seems to be a dearth of non-parrot punk bands who hold older ideals nowadays. (Fashion’s fine, but fashion > heart + talent = nope.) Axes of Evil: Metal-tinged, full-throttle, mindful punk in the spirit of Today’s Empires…-era Propaghandi. Hollowpoints: Lead by a voice as ragged as a tattered flag, they’re a serious-politics, serious-partying punk. In a perfect world, these guys would be as big as Anti-Flag and have their patches on as many assflaps as the Casualties. Both these bands remind me of others who played in this general vein that never got their due, but I still regularly play, like Space Cookie and Mea Culpa.

Modern and lyrically strong.” – Maximumrocknroll

The dead have risen! Not, the Grateful Dead. Like the actual, once-alive dead. And they’re playing kick-ass 70’s garage punk to boot! This is loud, rude and scary. But in a good way, not in an Ashlee Simpson way. (SH)

Full Frontal Assault – The Universal Struggle

Full Frontal Assault - The Universal Struggle

Here it is the first full length release on New Regard Media, Full Frontal Assault’s The Universal Struggle. When I was first exposed to this recording in the summer of 2003 it was on an unmarked tape cassette and I was floored when I listened to the outright fury the tape contained. Each song takes you on a journey that can go from blast beats to pianos and back again. From the calm cello opening to the heavy and epic Without a Fight this album delivers again and again. The production on the album unlike other metal albums has a very organic sound that adds depth and honesty to the emotions of the tracks. Enough from me though take it from a true metal connoisseur at Terrorizer Magazine.

From the melancholic intro “The Struggle Begins” to the first class epic “Without a Fight”, this release comes as an undisputed masterpiece of metal malice, complete with cello and brilliant artwork. The pure energy of tracks like “Years Diminishing” and “Guiding Light” are uplifting in themselves, whilst “SOS(Surrender Or Slaughter) offers a strange vibrato of latin-style riffs. With an excellent live cover of Slayer’s “Angel of Death”, these guys oughta be checked out.
