The good ol' boys in Ramlord (who happen to be from my home state of New Hampshire) sent this my way earlier last week, and it's a pleasant if not entirely too short split with another NH band called Condensed Flesh. Unfortunately, I was only sent the Ramlord material, but I am to understand that the CF material is a live demo recording, which I'm not really going to shed any tears over missing out on.
The Ramlord side is reason enough to check this out, though - a down n' dirty slug fest of crusty dark hardcore in the vein of His Hero Is Gone and Artimus Pile, though not quite as explosive or latently melodic. The recording is imperfect, yet solid enough to let the raw energy of the songs blast through (I believe this was recorded at Dead Air Studios with Will from Orchid/Ampere, if that means anything to you). Sure, this might not turn the world on it's head, but it's definitely worth a spin or two, and it's certainly nice to know that the granite state is keeping it crusty. Live free or die, motherfuckers.
Tracklist:
1. Restrained
2. Retrained
3. Reality
4. Relapse
