Dissidente - War On Two Fronts

The War on Two Fronts is aggressive in speed, style, and tone, taking aim at corrupt politicians and systematic oppression as fiercely as it blends riff-laden metal with crack-rocksteady offbeats. Chris' signature growl conveys years of of pent up aggression, but with enough melody to keep the tracks swirling through your brain for days... while the rhythm section combines forces for a veritable cross-genre masterclass. The few breaks on this album take you through atmospheric interludes with eery piano and prescient audio samples... a pallet cleanser for the speed and ferocity yet to come. You can dance to it. You can spin kick to it. You can run through a god-dang wall to it. But 'chill beats to study to' this is not. If you're a fan of bands like The Best of The Worst, Folly, The Flaming Tsunamis, Propaghandi, F***ed Up, Paint It Black, Choking Victim, Stuck Lucky or Still Alive, listen to this record. It's truly top tier skacore and one of my favorite hardcore punk or ska records, period. - Mike Sosinski.
