Born From Pain - Survival


This was the first album for these Holland Hardcore act - Born From Pain, worked with the new Vocalist : Rob Franssen ( previously the bass player ) and also the new bass player : Andries Beckers after the departure of Che Snelting. "Survival" was released in November 2008 under Metal Blade records, contains 11 tracks which all of them shows the musical change from fast and aggressive style to many beatdown rhythms and mid tempos with a combination of some modern melodic riffs that give the idea that maybe they were a bit blown away from new style bands such as Machine Head or by adjudging the track "The Wolves Are Loose" may allow us to create an association that the dutch masters were lately influenced by Mastodon. The choruses are punctuated with gang vocals, and of course breakdowns are frequent and crushing. Musically, Born From Pain defiantly are more akin to American hardcore and thrash rather than their native European metal. The lyrics on Survival are very politically conscious, as their statement on the band's official website :" ... This is a wake up call. This ia a call for awareness. A call for critical view on the powers that be. This is a call for Resistance!"
