DETONIZE
Rising from the ashes of Sanctum (well 3/4 of them anyway) came Detonize, the nastiest punks of the northwest! Shedding the stenchcore of their previous efforts, they opted for a more Cimex-fuled hardcore approach though metallic overtones could still be heard in their crushing riffs. A self released 12" should still be kicking around some distros, and I highly recommend tracking it down. Half the band moved to the Bay Area after they split, I miss those fuckers...
THE CORPSE
Wheras Detonize turned out some wax in their lifespan, sadly the same cannot be said of the Corpse. You'll maybe recognize frontman Tony "Insane" Bartek (Religious War, etc.) and if you're familiar with his previous efforts you'll know to expect some seriously destructive hardcore punk! Real basic no holds barred thrash from the Scandinavian/Finnish school (Bastards in their "Siberian Hardcore" days comes to mind in particular) with Bartek's distinctive cutthroat vocals adding to the frenzy. I believe a session was recorded, let's hope it sees the light of day in the near future as I'm sure it must be a ripper. Members are currently playing in Moral Hex, Dove Asylum, and Trauma.
MAUS SHREDS!
