Creepout / Integrity - Love is... the only weapon


By Christophe

It's quite possible you'll have to look hard to get your hands on a copy of this split EP. The 7" is limited to only 340 copies, the cd is limited to 666.

Nevertheless, it's well worth looking for.

The three songs Creepout contributed are highly moshable bits of classic NYHC, spiced up with some Clevo-style variations within the songs. Very aggressive stuff indeed. Which, of course, is the essence of hardcore. My guess: if you like bands like, say, One Life Crew, you'll be into this easily.

Next up is the almighty Integrity. They actually only recorded one song for this split record, but with around 6 minutes of mayhem, you don't really need any more songs. After a clean intro follows a very slow, sludgy first part, before shifting into gears for some good old-fashioned angry and fast-paced Integrity. The recording quality is pretty shaky, but that doesn't matter. The intensity is there, as is the violence and menacing growls. And a heavy metal solo. Yeah, really... What's up with that?
Score: 7,5 out of 10
