Harm's Way "Reality Approaches"

Wow. This record is fucking hard. Harm's Way from Chicago play heavy hardcore with metal influences like Carcass, Napalm Death, and a little Crowbar. I saw these guys play in some random town outside Worcester and was into their Breakdown cover. After hearing the "Delusion/Repression" 7" I was hooked. Fortunately both of those songs are re-recorded on "Reality Approaches". The Intro kicks in with some mean drums and a bass line that will get you moshing. "Code of the Huns" is real thrashy until a slow breakdown. The aforementioned "Repression" and "Delusion" are next and are some of the top tracks on the record. Constant mosh. "Heillos Warnung" is something Germanic barbarians probably listened to before they raped and pillaged villages of douchebags. It also leads into "Warriors Will Reign" which is probably the heaviest song of the year. The rest of the album is solid with the title track being another highlight. "Reality Approaches" is definitely made for the gym to make gains to. Especially since their top Myspace friends include Muscular Development and Gregg "Ramblin' Freak" Valentino. Check out their other bands too, Convicted and Weekend Nachos. Solid
