This is a twenty minutes introduction to the Facedown Family. There are four hardcore bands that are being introduced. The CD kicks off with one song of the Dodgin' Bullets which is a cooperational project of members from other bands (like NIV & Shockwave). It reminds me a lot of NIV. The second band, Figure Four, is a new band that joined the Facedown Family. The two songs show a band with talent. Born Blind is the third band with two songs too. I'm told this band has former NIV members in the line-up. The first song -Relight- is high paced old school complete with gang vocals. Finally, this CD introduces to you Overcome, a hardcore band with a metallic sound that used to be on Tooth & Nail. One of their songs is from The Life Of Death album. The other one is from the new Immortal Until Their Work Is Done. This introduction will be appealing especially to the old school fanatics and those who like hardcore that dares to incorporate metal influences (but it's not metalcore).

Dead Zine 2000Reviewed by D_ListerIf you need some new hardcore, there's really only a handful of bright spots to look these days.

The small labels you seem to gamble on sometimes, and wonder if their bands are half as good as their promo material claim them to be. Maybe…
