Ad Dajjal - Ciclico

Genre: Hardcore/Crust/Sludge
Year: 2013

Tracklist:
1. Somnolencia
2. Thysia
3. Neviim
4. Crimental


Heavy as fuck hardcore band from Chile. These dudes pump out some of the heaviest songs i've heard in a while, some of the sludgier part on this album get so angry, like Dystopia angry. As well as ripping out those heavy parts they pull off some eerie melodic parts as well that just click really well with the style they are doing. It reminds me of Brutality Will Prevail in those moments. I have no clue what the lyrics are saying, but I can bet they are dark as fuck. Also, that artwork. -Jacob Rice

Year: 2013

Tracklist:
1. Deviant/Corruption

Hardcore from Houston TX. Stagnant Youth plays a very dirty and gritty style of hardcore, with very harsh and heavy vocals, these vocals sound very similar in my opinion to His Hero Is Gone.
