    Since 1998, Himsa has been working hard. Among other things, they have toured such countries as China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Korea.

    Himsa rushes in with straight-ahead power. The amount of emotion involved behind the lyrics is evident as the vocalist excretes each line with all the power in his body. A quick read of the lyrics brings you to the conclusion that these guys have experienced a lot of disappointment and frustration in their time. The four tracks (and hidden live track) stylistically are fairly standard for the hardcore genre. However, there aren't many hooks or twists and this is the weak point of the album. Sadly, there just isn't a whole lot going on here that keeps my interest.
