Harms Way - Posthuman (2/19/18; Metal Blade) • Page 2

Yeah I mean it sells the record short. It's a progression for them and a refinement of what they had been doing on Rust and Blinded. The focus on the macho element is obnoxious

 

yeah, from reading that I'd assume we were still in the balaclava/crowd killing era of this band lol

also would be cool if I never had to picture "Hatebreed doing trip-hop" ever again but that's just me

 

Tell that to the kids throwing down at the last two Harms Way shows I went to here locally (opening for Nails and Weekend Nachos respectively). The machismo and swole-ness (kill me for using that word) was alive and well with crowdkilling and rough moshing abound. While they may be hyperbolic for the actual music, the descriptors used in that review at least describe their live shows aptly in my experience

 

Yeah but dude is reviewing their album not their live show. Although to be fair this is the heaviest thing they’ve put out

 

I can already say I will like this record more than Rust. I'm so impressed on this first listen.

 

I meant to chime in with this over the weekend, but if anyone is curious, this is GREAT snow-shoveling music.

 

@swboyd probably knows what I'm talking about!

 

it made for great driving music while i was driving back from bloomington trying to beat the snow storm we got last monday. i maaaay have gone 15 over all the way up i-55 until i hit the normal heavy congestion after i got on the tri-state.

 

this kicks big ass. sink is a jam.

@sophos34 feel like you'd love this

 

uhh they're on warped this summer lol

 

I hope dude wears the balaclava still

 

wait they're on warped what i didn't even see that lol

 

Ah yeah, still very kind of these guys to gift us with the biggest assbeating so early in the year

 

Saw them headline last week and he was balaclava-less. They still slayed but I can't say I wasn't a little disappointed.

 

Bo (guitarist) has a pod with Colin Young and it's a fun listen, they discussed the backlash to Rust (and twitching tongues' disharmony) this week

 

Gonna listen now. Rust has grown on me over the years. I like this pod.

 

they mention one particular reviewer being on both band's shitlist. for twitching tongues, i have to imagine it's Ronald McDonald, but i can't find him doing anything really on harms way.

 

Rust whips

 

it isn't a bad record but it is their worst
