PACIFICTION REVIEW:
Featured on this split collection are three bands emerging from the world hardcore presence that rail against oppression with guitar noise, D-beat charge and dark apocalyptic songs. The all female Finnish band KHATARINA deal out basic messages of equality and empowerment in their aggressive trade-offs with a feminist bent. SCREWITHIN, another band with duel vocals, confronts the listener with anti-establishment shouts and thrash guitars. UNARM delves into darker territory with more DISCHARGE rhythms and bass heavy riffs. Japanese hardcore, crust punk, D-beat and the political angst found among the world's true underground hardcore collective all come together on this split.
