TRAGEDY:
Vengeance: LP
If you are looking for the future of DIY hardcore. If you want to hear a band that has re-set the standard. If you wondered how a band could be ultra-heavy, melodic, and quick without compromising any element. If you think it’s all been done before, and better. If you want to hear anger expressed without a filter. If you want to hear music that is simultaneously as ugly and beautiful as the culture in which we live. If you ever wondered what opera would sound like if it was made for people in the gutter or kicked to the curb. If you have ever thought that the entire world was a concentration camp, surrounded by barbed wire. This is the album, the soundtrack. It’s utterly amazing. It’s sounds so big, all-encompassing, like you’re entering their world. I’ll end with the quote that’s in the middle of the booklet, by Utah Phillips. “The earth isn’t dying. It’s been killed and those who are killing it have homes and addresses.” –Todd Taylor (Tragedy)
