Peacemaker

Peacemaker Internal Revolution CD

Polish band PEACEMAKER serves up metallic hardcore driven by sharp riffs and militant conviction, merging mid-’90s Eurocore with a socially conscious edge. Think EARTH CRISIS attitude filtered through a cold Eastern Bloc lens. Tracks like “From Nowhere” and “Stay Human” punch with purpose and style, and a guest vocal from Brasi of BLOODSTAINED strengthens the crossover appeal. While nothing groundbreaking sonically, the heart and rage are real, and the message cuts through. If you’re into STRAIGHT OPPOSITION or later VITAMIN X, this’ll scratch that itch. Not revolutionary, but definitely resistant.

Peacemaker See You Dead / Greed cassette
