Concrete Block – Life Is Brutal


One look at the cover of “Life Is Brutal” pretty much tells you all you need to know about this Italian band… bullets, money, a dude with a lot of tattoos including a Sick Of It All logo. Yup, this is tuff guy hardcore that sounds like Madball and Hatebreed.
Concrete Block is a pretty bland name for a band yet it’s not quite as bad as the acts the members used to play in, Woptime and Sickhead. The same kinda goes for the music… it’s not bad but NYHC has already been done a lot better in the past and all the angry vocals, double bass drum action and metal riffs in the world can’t save this album from being just okay-ish. Now, let’s just hope they don’t go all vendetta on my ass for saying this or I’ll wake up with a horse’s head in my bed in no time.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
