Merauder - Master Killer
OMFG this album is badass. It's meatheaded New York hardcore, with all the mid-paced, thrash-influenced breakdowns and toughguy vocals that that entails, but with enough pure metal that it crosses over into early metalcore territory. Sort of like the halfway point between Madball and Earth Crisis. It never goes much past mid-pace, but every song is such a perfect mosh anthem that I just don't ****ing care if it lacks a certain variety.
And that production is ****ing awesome: crunchy and heavy as all ****, but not so overbearing as to be obnoxious. This is one of the most fun metalcore albums you'll ever hear.
