Give & Take 8/10
The second full-length hardcore behemoth Conquest For Death (featuring ex and current members of What Happens Next?, All You Can Eat, Artimus Pyle, etc.) was issued just in time for the band’s recent trek through Africa and various other places that punk, metal and hardcore bands rarely go to. A slightly more varied, vibrant and melodic effort than their debut, Front Row Tickets To Armageddon, this punkish metal-edged assault will hopefully ensure more punters at the shows when the band tours Australi DIY style towards the end of this year.
