Outbreak - Work To Death 7" TFR 040
After three years without an album, basement-wrecking hardcore act Outbreak has given us the "Work To Death" EP; a two-track effort about the tragedy of the bleak day job with a total running time of just over two and a half minutes. The opener, "(Work)ing Dead", is almost two whole minutes of punk influenced hardcore. The initial pulsating riff sounds a bit out-of-the-box different than the regular hardcore that comes from the band, which is seen when the band switches back to 38 seconds of mayhem in "Don't Want To Fade (To Death)". Ryan's snarling vocals are strong as usual as his band mates join in on some gang vocals here and there, plus the shrieks and voice cracking from the background singer is pure conviction. Overall this teaser is short and sweet, now bring on the full-length!
