How two bands that are so drastically different can get together to share one piece of vinyl is still beyond us, but this record wasn’t exactly created to confer with anyone’s expectations. While WALLEYE offer up a friendly dose of finely crafted – albeit angst-ridden – pop-tinged punk, Washington D.C.’s DAMNATION A.D. obliterate their side of the platter in a brutal blast of metallic hardcore and unabashed noise. Which, of course, only goes to show that in the end, it’s all just punk rock anyway. (Also available as part of Jade Tree’s retrospective CD, The First Five Years (JT1050)

absolutly classic Death Metal album! I also love Necrotisism but "Heartwork" has a special spot in my heart,... countless awesome songs like especially This mortal Coil, the titletrack "Hearwork" or No Love lost, Carnal Forge.... Carcass went again more in the melodic with this album, while Necrotisism was yet very melodic,... but they kept aggressive with some blastbeats and a aggressive vibe in the songs... awesome! hennenberger
Chokehold, a metallic hardcore band from Canada, with Beastie Boys touches. Their 2nd LP Content with Dying is easily their angriest and most passionate. This 1995 LP is impressively simplistic. Keeping a mid-tempo on the LP, they plod and chug along with some headbanging riffs, well shown on the opening track "Underneath". Not the most varied record, it's the same kind of chuggy riffs through the whole LP. Yet this LP remains one of the heaviest in the genre. Essential for any 90s hardcore fan! xhrl_
