INTENTIONAL RAGE
"The
Price of Freedom" (Wicked Edge Productions; 2005)
Reviewed by Snidermann
Intentional Rage has released a powerhouse of
an EP, "The Price of Freedom," on Wicked Edge Productions. Intentional
Rage is from our home turf of Ventura County, California and features two
members of the legendary band Helarage on guitar and bass.
"The Price of Freedom" is an awesome release, full of great, powerful
music that's hard and heavy. The cover art is a photo of a women holding what
appears to be a dead child in her arms and there is a quote on the back of the
CD cover: "Cover photo is dedicated to the Kurdish people of Halabja, who
on March 16th, 1988 suffered the worst chemical attacks committed by the
Iraqi regime. 75% women and children, immediately perished. This was not the
only chemical attack ordered by Saddam, it was just the worst." I mention
this quote so you can see where the band's attitude and lyrics are directed. The
tracklisting will also give you an idea:
Foot In The Grave
Products Of War
Get Out
Intentional Rage
The Price Of Freedom
For my money, Intentional Rage is actually better than Helarage ... and Helarage
was a great band. Intentional Rage is more serious and more intense.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
