Year: 2004
Genre: hardcore/metal-infused screamo
Label: Level Plane (click link to purchase)
It's the itch that needed to be relieved. Netherlands' Shikari (Japanese for "body hunters") dared to tag a ton of tremolo and chainsaw riffage, d-beats, and tasteful breakdowns to the screamo genre. Hell, it's much faster and heavier than many bands in that genre, but that's not really too difficult to pull off, right? All one has to do is tap on the shoulders of several others and ask them to join a band that would blast away all chances of igniting sissy steps and the arbitrary finger dance. I guess that's not the best description one can give of this compliation. If you're curious to see what elements of grind, black metal, and hardcore can add to a screamo band, then download this album. They've recently reunited, playing two shows over the summer. There's a rumor going around that a tentative US tour is in the talks!
