POWERWOLVES
"You Won't Find Peace" (Panic; 2011)
Reviewed by Jeff Rogers
Hardcore and short blasts of it are what make this
band's second disc a brute fest. Powerwolves don't waste anytime explaining
themselves, they just kick your head repeatedly and, if you don't have a
migraine, then you didn't do it right. Frontman Dave Witkum will let you know
what he thinks in just a few words. The guitar is brutal and, with riffs that
dig deep into your brain, it's only a matter of time before Powerwolves have
grooved their brand of hardcore into your unsuspecting mind.
There are only nine songs here, so "You Won't Find Peace" can be played over and
over to your neighbor's disgust. The cool thing about this disc is that they
inject some melody on a few songs so it's not just a teeth smashing good time
thoughout the entire disc. You can also hear some punk/metal on a few cuts but
the hardcore brand still exists so those who need a steady bolt of heavy will
still get their fix.

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.
