An anthemic epic for the rockers and the nostalgic set, Truman Zone harkens back to the '00s before neocrust was called neocrust - when it was just the music that everyone seemed to be making and everyone seemed to listening to. High/low vocals on top of a relentless mid-DBeat gallop...it's In Darkness-era WOLFBRIGADE, and it's executed perfectly. A couple of rock 'n roll burners (a la DISFEAR, keeping with the melodic Swedish hardcore theme) and when they unleash, LOS REVOLUCIONARIOS really get after it. For every kid that had a ragged TRAGEDY patch in 2004, and still can't bring themselves to get rid of the jacket even though it's threadbare and hasn't fit for ten years.
As always, this is presented to you as the cassette was presented to me. Glitches and fast edits that sound like mp3 compressions on a couple of tracks (like the absolute banger "Creative Forms Of Fears") are manufacturing defects on the cassette itself, and part of the frustration/charm of the format - even if the result of the inclusion of digital reproduction at some point in the chain. This recording is also available directly from the band.
