Following in the footsteps of their brutal sounding Connecticut forefathers(100 Demons, Hatebreed, Death Threat, 2X4), the four piece known as 1984give you a harmonious combination of fast agressive thrash, barbaricbreakdowns, and misanthropic soul incinerating lyrics. The 1984/Black Betsysplit CD continues where their first EP, "Wide Awake In The Land Of TheDead," left off, but the bands progression is obvious: their sound hasmatured with more intelligent guitar riffs, while the craft of writingmonstrous beatdown material has only improved. Lyrically they have notstrayed from their path--humanity is evil, and "they" are after you, so giveup hope and dont even try. Parental discretion is strongly advised... Sideeffects include suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, frustration, violenturges and fantasies of which you may act upon, and an overall sense ofdisgust with the world.
Black Betsy
Black Betsy can best be described as the soundtrack to a violent riot. Thequartet from Helsinki (Finland) have molded a unique sound by creativelytransitioning fast paced hardcore into bone-shattering beatdowns--all withexceptional sound quality! Each song is laced with sentiments of hate,despair, contempt, and at times unexpected wisdom--"Pride alone wont keepyou alive." Black Betsy also brings to the stage an onslaught ofinnappropriate behavior similar to the antics of Bad Luck 13, and thusshould not be viewed by the faint of heart! This band deserves a spot onthe shelf for any fans of Madball, Buried Alive, Death Threat, Strife, andMerauder.
