STRONGARM - The Advent of a Miracle (USA)
Tooth & Nail Records

This is definately a 'true' hardcore release. Definately no metal influence in here.
Upon the first listen of this album, I felt that this album is very bland, virtually every track songs similiar. But after I listened to it after a LONG while, I find that this is actually a listenable album. Nothing spectacular and nothing great (although my friend who likes hardcore find it very good). But even though i start to really listen to it, I still find that many of the tracks are very similiar, although a hardcore guy might disagree.

Angry vocals with very good drummer. My favorate seems to be "Council of Perfection", but nothing else on this album impress me. But from what I've heard their first release is MUCH much better than this release.

SCORE: 4 /10
