Combat Wounded Veteran "What Flavor is Your Death Squad Leader" 7'' [Schematics Records]

"1996-2003.

We sounded really bad at first, then we sounded better, then we didn't want to be in a hardcore band anymore. Isn't that always the case?

For the seven years Combat was around, we only were together in a practice room, at a show or in a studio together for a total of five months. After all was said and done we had two vocalists, two bass players, five guitar players, two drummers, one apperance by Jimmy Reese, one Hammond organ player, one remote control player, one inner band fist fight, one flirtation with Latin percussion and two solid instances of Norris insulting people's dead parents in a live setting.

NO we still do not want to be on your tape comp with Ulcer, Agathocles, Unholy Grave and Capitalist Casualties. NO we don't think we sounded like Charles Bronson or The Locust. YES we have seen Sam McPheeters artwork. And most importantly, NO WE ARE NOT BACK TOGETHER.

Drugs of Faith -- s/t [Selfmadegod Records]

"This surging power-trio featuring an ex-member of Enemy Soil was formed in 2002; after a couple of demos and a compilation appearance, this is the band's first official full-length release. If the cover art conjures up visions of punk and hardcore, well, there's a good reason for that... but the hardcore approach is frequently blindsided by a serious inclination toward hyperactive grindcore, which makes for an interesting and wildly unpredictable listening experience. I'm not seriously down enough with hardcore / punk (to put it mildly) to comment much on that aspect of the band's sound, but their grind is of the soul-crushing variety, and they get bonus points for having a female bassist in a genre (either one, take your pick) notable for being testosterone-heavy. When they veer more distinctly into grind territory, they can be intensely heavy, especially during the slow parts of "Burning." The punk and grind influences are bridged by a heavy fondness for dissonance and unpredictable tempo shifts; the result is a sound that never stays the same long enough get boring. Heavy, heavy stuff, too. I'm sure their lyrics are real insightful and stuff too, but frankly, I care a whole more about the pummeling drums and grossed-out hyperspeed bass flatulence. A crushing mix of punk and grind that's worth your listening time." www.monotremata.com
