I Scream appears to be in re-release mode as “The Wounds That Never Heal” comes hot on the heels of the Mucky Pup re-release. Anyway, this one combines the two Stigmata albums “Hymns For An Unknown God” and “Do Unto Others” plus one extra song in the form of a live version of “Can’t Bring Me Down”. All this on one single disc in honor of the band’s 20th anniversary.
If you’ve never heard of these guys before but are into acts such as Madball, Sick Of It All, Hatebreed and others, then you’re in for a treat. They play über-aggressive hardcore that comes with tons of groove and barked vocals. Both albums are solid chunks with pretty much the only difference being that “Hymns For An Unknown God” focuses more on groove while “Do Unto Others” is a lot faster. Both albums are pretty frigging cool though and if you feel like changing your living room into a battlefield, then you’ve now found yourself the perfect soundtrack.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
