Total Chaos/Pledge Of Defiance/Epitaph Records/1994 Cassette Review


  Total  Chaos  are  a  band  from  California  that  plays  a  very  political  orientated  form  of  hardcore  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  1994  album  "Pledge  Of  Defiance"  which  was  released  by  Epitaph  Records.

  Drums  range  from  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  no  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  raw  and  primitive  sounding  hardcore  punk  riffs,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  chaotic,  raw  and  primitive  sounding  hardcore  punk  rock  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  aggressive  sounding  hardcore  punk  style  shouts,  screams  and  growls,  while  the  lyrics  cover  hateful  and  political  themes,  as  for  the  production  it h as  a  very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion t his  was  a  very  great sounding  recording  from  Total  Chaos  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  probably  already  own  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Babylon"  "Fuck  The  System"  "Nightmares"  and  "Suicide  Mission".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
