(Andy Synn gets filthy with the new album from seminal Metal/Hardcore band All Out War)
As some of you may know, All Out War easily rank among my favourite bands of all time.
And I know I say that a lot – look, when you listen to a lot of bands you have a lot of favourites – but in this case I really mean it, as it was bands like All Out War, Ringworm, and Earth Crisis (and many more) who played a seminal role in defining my taste in Metal/Hardcore in the early days.
Which is why it’s crazy to think that this is the first time I’m writing about them for the site.
I’ll grant you that by the time I actually started writing for NCS they were once again on hiatus, and in the years to follow would only release one EP (and you know how terrible I am at keeping tabs on those… though I’m trying to do better) and an album which, to be honest, I’m not a massive fan of.
But, still, it feels weird to think that this is my first time properly reviewing the band… so I’d better make it count, right?
