ALBUM REVIEW (out of Isolated Zine: issue2):
Homewrecker’s ‘Worms & Dirt’ (A389 Records, out in June)
by: Andrew Greene
If you’ve payed any attention to the NE Ohio hardcore scene in the past few years, you should be more than familiar with Homewrecker. This group of five dudes have put out several releases in 2011/2012 alone and all of their hard work has landed them a spot on A389 Records. Worms and Dirt is HW first full length for A389 and it doesn’t disappoint. From the into track, suggesting that disciples of the devil are among us to the crushing riffs of “Chained Hanging Victim” (featuring Dylan from label mate’s Full Of Hell), this album is a full 22 minutes of straight forward metallic hardcore. The number one thing that stand’s out to me is vocalist Ryan Sposito continuous furiosity throughout the record. With lyrics like “Your pastor will not save you, not your money, not your cloths when your a lifeless body on the side of the road, charlatan, coward.” on the drawn out and supremely heavy track “Charlatan” you can tell that this group has an axe to grind and isn’t afraid to show it. And with everything from the creepy but mellow instrumental track “Visions of Terror” to the more hardcore based riffs of “Eyes of Anguish”, Homewrecker has succeeded in blending many aspects of heavy music together to come out with a truly great full length and a album that should defiantly be on your summer jam list. Make sure to get to one of their shows, pick up a copy and play it loud!
For Fans Of: Integrity/Harms Way
