Review - Braindead - No Consequences

Braindead - No Consequences

View The Review

8 out of 10

There are hardcore bands that use brute force and thugged out rhythms to put their point across, and then there are hardcore bands that use melody and texture combined with emotive lyrics. Philedelphian quintent Braindead manage to utilise the best of both worlds on 'No Consquences' and don't manage to come across as stale or as bland as some of their counterparts who are chugging out similar material. There are an impressive amount of guest contributions on this record ranging from the pissed off snarlings of Letdown vocalist Bob Wilson to the sheer evil of Pulling Teeths LordxDom and his instantly recognisable guitar tone. All in all, this record is what you would come to have expected from the likes of Modern Life Is War and Give Up The Ghost. Catchy sing along anthems with just enough mosh parts they stay the right side of clichéd. Braindead aren't exactly breaking down walls, but they are taking a good solid shot at it.
