Metallic hardcore outfit Presence of Fear from Michigan recently put out their own solo release, a followup to their split with Detain. This release is a strong follow up to that release from 2013. Production wise this release gives a strong feeling of just plain, unadulterated anger and is certainly mosh worthy. Instrumentally, this release is formulaic to other metallic hardcore bands such as Hatebreed or Converge. With strong, chunky guitars with very strong riffs and leads and some really nice solos thrown in for good measure, fast paced drums and a solid bassline.
Vocally this release is fair, with vocals that scream anger and aggression, however nothing particularly mind blowing about them. Lyrical content also doesn't strike me as anything special, typical hardcore styled lyrics. So in total, this release earns a solid 6.6/10 for some really solid, enjoyable instrumentals but fair vocals and lackluster lyrical material. This is certainly a record to listen to and pick up if your in the market for something hard hitting and fun to listen to.
