Album Reviews

Our Belgian hardcore pride is back with another ferocious assault on all your senses. The new album is called “Our Circle Is Vicious” and in Deathwish these guys have found a label where they feel right at home with all the Doomriders, Pulling Teeths and Blacklisteds of the world.

Do yourself a favor and check out one nasty as fuck album that becomes even more impressive thanks to the solid production job by Kurt Ballou himself. The material on here is way more mid-tempo than anything they’ve done on “Into Oblivion” and if I’d have to describe it one word, I’d go with vile. Within the songs that range in length between one and five minutes, Rise And Fall play with dynamics to their hearts’ content (“In Circles”) but still find time to let a song simply rip you a new one (opener “Soul Slayer”).

With “Our Circle Is Vicious” the dudes that make up Rise And Fall prove once again that they’re a powerhouse in the making and looking at their grueling touring schedule I don’t think they will rest until they’ve convinced everyone of just that.
