Release Notes



Raleigh, North Carolina's Devour were born from the ashes of

Cross Laws, but rather than simply picking up where that band

left off, the remaining members expanded to a 5-piece and

followed the long southern tradition of adding traces of metal

into our hardcore. What emerged was a record that is remarkably

dense and complex, recalling the very best of the mid-80s trend

of hardcore bands "going metal;" think Corrosion of

Conformity's Animosity LP, Final Conflict's Ashes to Ashes and

Septic Death's Need So Much Attention. There's also a heavy

Japanese influence; people who have seen Devour live have

compared them to Judgment, Lip Cream and Bastard, a connection

only made clearer by this record's astonishingly heavy and

powerful recording. In a scene where so many bands simply want

to replicate something that has already happened, Devour sound

remarkably fresh and progressive, and without losing a single

thing you loved about hardcore in the first place. Sorry State

Records #15
