Tragedy: Vengeance CD (Tragedy Records)

By Tuomas Koskinen

It's finally here! Tragedy is the band that first smacked me in face and before I knew what happened, it sneaked under my skin and didn't go away!

Those who have heard Tragedy before know what it's all about. Those who don't I can tell you that Tragedy is fast and heavy hardcore with melancholy melodies and really angry vocals.

The lyrics are awesome protests against injustice in the world and I'm sure that if anyone of those businessmen who run those exploiting companies hear any of these songs won't sleep well at night. These lyrics would work even if they were just poems, even though I'm not into poem stuff.

The songs are more technical than hardcore songs usually are. There is more than just verse / chorus / verse stuff. I think that even those who usually do not like hardcore, but like metal or something like that, would like this because these guys can really play their instruments. You can taste the atmosphere in the songs. Like in �Beginning Of The End� it feels like dozen angry rottweilers running after you.

It's only January, but I would say this is the best record of this year. How could music get any better?

"The earth is being killed and those who are killing it have names and addresses�"
