A bunch of new reviews: MUD, STILL SCREAMING, SHINTO KATANA, THE BUCCANEERS and LETTER TO THE EXILES

MUD Violence Against Violence (CD)

Born in 2004 as a HC/crossover band rich in metal influences, with their last album VIOLENCE AGAINST VIOLENCE, the Mud complete now their evolution towards New School HC, a process started in 2009 with Slow Degradation.

The new LP by the band from Abruzzo, made of 9 relentless (as the title of the 2nd song suggests) tracks, approaches now NYHC with a sound that really reminds me the first Madball and Agnostic Front. However, it seems like Mud didn’t forget their metal roots and this contributes to build the truly original, genuine ad solid sound which constitutes VAV’s backbone.
