From Fort Wayne, Indiana come the Saints that Never Surrender with an album that’s equally lethal as the killer it’s named after. Take hardcore, put some real passion behind it and this is what you get. A vocalist that screams his head off, guitar noodling a la Shai Hulud, powerful drumming and a couple of gang vocal moments that make sure things don’t get too monotonous in the vocal department.
Sounds like something you’ve heard before? Yeah, probably. But these guys do it really well and have a lot of energy going on. Plus they have three guitars and bands with three guitars are always cool. The artwork comes courtesy of tattoo artist Dusty Neal and looks exactly like the kind of tattoo you regret the moment you wake up with a terrible hangover. But don’t let that stop you from checking out “Brutus” because this is a perfectly good melodic hardcore album.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
