What felt like a long time coming, has definitely been so damn well worth the wait. Melbourne's Outright follow up their awesome debut 7" with 11 new crushing songs that mix the best of the mid 90s metal influenced hardcore movement with that modern day crossover vibe, that is as varied, as it is technically brilliant, kind of like Strife meets Indecision. Jelena's delivery has definitely found it's own voice, topped off by a very intelligent lyrical approach that is as challenging as it is confronting. This is so far from the norm of by the numbers dumbcore that has become so commonplace in hardcore. This is a collection of thought provoking, inspirational anthems that are catchy, moving and so damn moshable. Brilliant from start to finish. Hats off to Outright, this will take some topping!
