Teamkiller’s debut “Bad Signs” came out in 2006 and they made a pretty good impression on me at the time with their energetic take on NYHC. Four years later they’re back with “Bound To Samsara”, an album that sounds like a German tribute to the likes of Leeway, Agnostic Front and Cro-Mags.
It’s pretty solid in terms of songwriting and it comes with enough diversity thanks to plenty of tempo changes, the use of clean vocals, melodic guitar lines and some hiphop influences . It’s especially the tempo changes that make “Bound To Samsara” a more dynamic release compared to “Bad Signs”, which was just fast from start to finish. I’m not too crazy about the vocals… not sure if it’s power or conviction that they’re lacking, but something is missing in that department. But hey, if you’re into groovy, aggressive hardcore and you’re not too picky, then Teamkiller’s final release will suit you just fine.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
