BIRTH A.D. - Stillbirth of a Nation CDEP review

BIRTH A.D. - Stillbirth of a Nation CDEP
Self Released
Genre: Punk/Hardcore
Rating: 3/5

This could of been a demo from back in the 1980's with better production of course. BIRTH A.D. are a three piece who hail from Texas, have two former AVERSE SEFIRA members and sound like a second tier HC act from back in the day who were influenced by DRI. They actually cover a FEARLESS IRANIANS FROM HELL song, "Blow Up the Embassy", which I give em props for because you have to be cool to have known of that band. Their originals cover all the bases as far as subject matter went for Hardcore Punk back in the 80s. I gotta say that the themes still hold true for today. Songs like "This Scene Sucks", "No Jobs" and "Failed State" all carry that nostalgia feel. This was originally released by the band back in 2009 and I had it sent to me now by their production company. Are we ready for retro Hardcore Punk? I really don't have the answer to that one but this release garners the same length of a review that I would've written back in 1985, which is when I started writing about extreme music.

Submissions Information

Contact Me at: mr.wolf69@yahoo.com

for anyone who wants to submit material for review, please read this first.

Scumfeast Metal 666 concerns itself with Extreme Metal & Sounds. Starting in 2012 I'll only be accepting review material that falls within the following genres: Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Thrash, Grindcore, real Hardcore/Crust/Speed Metal, classic NWOBHM, Classic Metal. Pagan/Folk Metal, Punk Metal and certain Dark Sounds. I cannot promote what I like when I'm being flooded with stuff I don't really care for.

Secondly I'm not gonna write a review from listening to your Reverbnation page. Atleast with Bandcamp I can have the music running on continuous play while I walk around the house doing mundane chores if you know what I mean. So if you want me to pay attention than please send a download link of your release which I can listen to at my leisure . I don't share files or leak stuff so your art is safe with me.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE "EXTREME"

Extreme Metal or Music is generally a form which is accepted by 1% of all of the music loving public. It is elitist in every way and that's important to those of us who call ourselves fans. The 99% of people who will not like it are Not Supposed To. The music wasn't made for them, "the masses". It's music that's for those who take things to that "other" level. There is nothing hip or fad about it. In fact we treat those two notions very harshly.

Scumfeast Metal 666 concerns itself with the Extreme side of the following genres: Black Metal, Death Metal, Doom, Thrash, Grindcore, real Hardcore/Crust, classic NWOBHM, Folk/Pagan/Viking Metal, Drone/Noise and various Dark Sounds. Do not consider the opinions read here to be the same as you would read on other music sites. Being objectionable is not our mission. Giving you an honest no holds bar extreme opinion is.
