BURNING KROSS has elements of Swedish hardcore similar to bands like WOFLPACK/WOLFBRIGADE. They also have a bit of UK hardcore punk thrown in, like the VARUKERS, DISASTER, etc., and lyrics that are similar to the anarcho scene. Beyond that, this is a really well-recorded EP that allows the power of the music to shine while the vocals are clear and defined. A very good record.
BURNING KROSS is the venture of seasoned musicians from the very important Ghent scene, with members and ex-members of BLACK HAVEN, CHEAP DRUGS, and AMEN RA within their ranks. II is their fourth output, and they have managed to steadily progress their sound. Nearly fifteen minutes of floor-stomping hardcore punk delivered in a very USHC way, like a faster NEGATIVE APPROACH. II acts as a way to liberate the anger and frustration of the injustices felt throughout a dying world. They embody the rage one feels towards the ever-growing failures of the system that was meant to oppress us all along. If you want a better mental picture of what it sounds like, just look at the blood-curdling cover, an amazing depiction done by the talented Keith Caves. This is hardcore for the end times.
Six-track LP from these Belgian hardcore punks, filled with anger and versing on anti-fascist and anti-racist ideals. From Oostakker near Ghantes, BURNING KROSS delivers violent and fast-paced hardcore punk with crust and D-beat references and deep bass vocals ready to fight. Extra points for the album cover art featuring a KKK scumbag receiving a burning cross right in their torso.
