nice words Ben Kidney!
indeed it should have a feeling of the Hardcore mindset and obviosly an insight into the producers personal beleifs etc...and i do agree all this comedy gore shock tactic 'hardcore' is just a joke and there seems to be only a minority who keep it going...
first and foremost i enjoy the darkness and crust...also im one for the more political edge sometimes...anti-establishment...
shock imagery and over the top nonsense about being evil etc is done to death and just a joke.
such offshoots as raggacore although thats a breakcore thing it ties in...is just stupid. most use these vocals because they like the sound...and quite often people are trying to combine their left politix with it when rasta is a highly sexist/homophobic mindset...
way too much time spent these days on technical issues...its becoming too clean and overproduced/compressed like pop music...pop mashups ****! i listen to this music to break well away from that shit.
more thoughts people?
keep it HARDcore - Industrial - Acidic - Anti-Authoritarian - Break the Rules but dont let it become a joke.
