About the Artist
New York's ALL OUT WAR is a punishing display of the aggression of hardcore, crossed with the brutality of metal, while avoiding the shortcomings of both genres. To get a taste of All Out War's musical style, envision Slayer's "Reign In Blood" colliding head on with "Age of Quarrel" era Cro-Mags. The two styles are as different as they come, but ALL OUT WAR combines them to form a Crossover attack unmatched by today's standards. While so many bands are creating a diluted mixture of Metal and Hardcore, All Out War brings you their brand of Crossover in the tradition of bands like NUCLEAR ASSAULT, AGNOSTIC FRONT, S.O.D. and KREATOR. "Condemned To Suffer" will solidify ALL OUT WAR¹s position as one of the most brutal bands - period. With their trademark social commentary on such diverse subjects as the Holocaust, ecocide and the degradation of the hard music scene, one will be hard pressed not to feel the effects of this record. "Condemned To Suffer" is destined to be a Crossover classic it could be the album that brings the genre back to life.
Album Description
New York's ALL OUT WAR is a punishing display of the aggression of hardcore crossed with the brutality of metal while avoiding the shortcomings of both genres. To get a taste of ALL OUT WAR's musical style, envision Slayer's "Reign In Blood" colliding head on with "Age of Quarrel" era Cro-Mags. Two styles as different as they come, but ALL OUT WAR combines the two to form a Crossover attack unmatched by today's standards. While so many bands are creating a diluted mixture of Metal and Hardcore, ALL OUT WAR brings you their brand of Crossover in the tradition of bands like NUCLEAR ASSAULT, CRUMBSUCKERS, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and S.O.D.. "Condemned To Suffer", their first record in five years, will once again solidify ALL OUT WAR’s position as one of the most brutal bands - period. With their trademark social commentary on such diverse subjects as the Holocaust, ecocide and the degradation of the hard music scene, one will be hard pressed not to feel the effects of this record. "Condemned To Suffer" is destined to be a Crossover classic and the album that could very well bring the genre back to life.
