Revelation US Vinyl & CDs

Review: Last year East Bay, California by way of Austin, Texas newfound hardcore bruisers, Planet On A Chain, karate kicked in the door of Revelation Records with their immensely pissed out debut full-length Boxed In. A group of seasoned veterans in their own right, with members previously operating in Look Back & Laugh, Tear It Up, Talk Is Poison, Dead Nation and Mutilated Tongue, the snarling energy they bring to the table exudes all of the traits of sharpened hardcore lifers. Following on from their 11-track, 19-minute sonic car crash of a debut comes an even uglier sophomore effort in the form of Culture Of Death, sharpening, honing and steeping their sound in even more crossover thrash meets beatdown chaos. Ultimately, POAC simultaneously celebrate hardcore's purpose and past while also cementing its increasing relevancy and legacy in the modern spectrum.
