Description:
There was a time, back in the early nineties, when Slap-A-Ham Records was probably the best hardcore label on the planet. Even amidst the classic Neanderthal, "Bllleeaaauuurrgghhh" compilation 7"s, No Comment and so on releases, the Crossed Out 7" and their split 7" with Man Is The Bastard alongside the near-unplayable split 5" with Drop Dead and numerous compilation tracks, stood out as being a tad special. They were clearly in debt to the late 80s masters of uber-fast hardcore like Infest, No Comment and Pissed Happy Children/Neanderthal, who themselves owed a great deal to the likes of Void, Siege, Deep Wound and Septic Death, but their own brand of buzzing brutality, which would go on to be tagged "power-violence", was of such a high quality and distinct enough that they sounded unique. It's because of this that they're now considered part of ultra-fast, ultra-aggressive hardcore time-line in which the above bands sit like kings, being fed grapes and fanned with palm leaves by exotic beauties. "Power-violence" is an apt title for the music on this disc, but i'm also fond of the term "gym teacher hardcore". I once told a friend they sound like Infest being played by Big Black and it's a comparison that i still stick by. Despite the fact we're dealing with spurts of vigorous, high-speed, minimal hardcore here, the music sounds so taut and military drill-time precise, the band always firmly in control of what they've unleashed. It's perhaps ironic that more than a few bands from the Slap-A-Ham/Power-Violence scene were extremely fine and even classically trained musicians. For newer fans of grind-core this is essential. Fans of Will Haven or Converge should check this out, as should those fond of bone-headed mosh-core or Discharge-stylee crust-core. Even, i imagine, an aficionado of the most aggressive metal would wet their grubby cargo pants over Crossed Out. If you end up liking this i'd also recommend "drop dead" by Siege and the No Comment discography, which includes their jaw-dropping "downsided" 7". Now, if only Deep Six would finally get around to putting out those damn Infest, Neanderthal discography cd's.
