Long Island, NY's INVADE offer up eight tracks of 90's styled metallic hardcore in about 18 minutes, complete with plenty of crunchy power chord rhythms using just the right amount of tempo changes and light melody to keep things interesting. I refer to this as "90's styled" because the approach tends to keep a steady balance by using hardcore as the dominant base and simply amping things up with a heavier edge of metal that totally sounds like it would've been at home in the mid-90's. The distorted guitar tone kicks ass and I really dig the style of the vocals as well, because those strained yells and chugging picking patterns definitely bring me back to a time when "metalcore" wasn't such a dirty word, and there simply aren't many bands that can still capture that era today, so I'm thrilled with that aspect of this material. The D.I.Y. packaging is nice as well, with quality graphics and a simple xeroxed insert with all of the lyrics (which are largely socio-political in nature), etc.
