Released by Prank Records in November 1997, this album brings forth a lot of anarcho-punk lyrics about society and class struggle etc. The lyrical direction is still personal, but taking on personal responsibility for the problems in wreckage in modern life is the consistent theme in "The Mess," "Stacks," and especially "Disease of Ease". Songs that amount to condensed rage and brutality. Immense, metallic, heaviness churned at hardcore velocity, His Hero Is Gone rip through fifteen songs on their second album. It's not exactly crust and it's definitely not grindcore. It's more like complex/technical punk rock run through doom metal sludge. The doom sludge, to the epic anthemic melodic yet heavy punk rythms, to the straight grind, this is one of the most passionate super heavy grind, punk, hardcore, crust, whatever, albums/bands ever. This is some heavy sludge-core punk, like a hardcore band doing Black Sabbath. Very angry and brutal. If you've ever had an interest in hardcore, find this one. This album proof heavy music doesn't need to be stupid, these guys show musical and lyrical eloquence.
