the loudest band on donut freinds. harsh, labyrinthine hardcore with alot of guitar fuckery from kent/cleveland ohio........underneath all the metal they share the same musical DNA with bands like harriet the spy, UOA and party of helicopters...."series finale" which was also on their first "7 and "tricks with mirrors" are the highlight tracks here..........really excellent and underappriceated record.
dude, don't know if this was really slept on. saw them several times and by far one of the best bands in ohio at the time. plus nice dudes.
ReplyDeletethese guys dont seem to be known very well outside of northern ohio so thats why i say they are slept on........
ReplyDeleteanyways i got hooked on this band when i bought that first "7 back in 1999...just sheer awesomeness
Glad somebody is still into this, and thanks for the kind words. I was the original drummer (on this record), but they got ridiculously good after I left and added a good vocalist. So prog. I've uploaded the last recordings for you - can't remember if this was ever released. http://soundcloud.com/robboles/sets/pankration

ReplyDelete12 years after the release I still can't get enough of this album!
