Army of God Army of God cassette
Wall-shaking and powerfully frantic hardcore from Seattle. From the opening charge of “Play Your Part” to the closing of “Fading,” it’s a relentless shot of adrenaline. There’s a strong streak of early USHC running through this debut, tapping into the ugly, pissed-off attack of classic faster bands like KORO and a bit of UKHC-style crud. The songs are direct and catchy without ever sounding overly calculated. This self-titled cassette is a highly addictive reminder that punk rock doesn’t need to reinvent the formula to be great.
