Year: 1990
Genre: Hardcore
Label: Ebullition (You can buy here, but you need to buy $100 worth of stuff...)
It was the start of an era of baggy pants, metal ball necklaces, and hardcore bands getting sludgy and a little "too serious." Downcast was a Californian band who did all this before your typical 90s hardcore roster. You can easily get a hint of their Metallica influence in this very short, four-track release - one of the first from Ebullition - and more particularly in "Schedule" and "Lie." In reference to perhaps a more "relevant" time frame, "Hate Comes Easy" may remind people of early Zao when they were established in Parkersburg, WV and not Pennsylvania - except Downcast doesn't go on all fours for Jesus. Doesn't it sound beautiful when metal and hardcore merge? My favorite tracks are "Hate Comes Easy" and "Lie."
