Terror - The Walls Will Fall (Hardcore) Nothing Left - Destroy and Rebuild (Hardcore) Technically two EP's (so no full albums), but nevertheless both deliver a crushing slab of metallic Hardcore! Nothing Left consists of ex-members from Metalcore titans For Today and the vocalist from A Bullet For A Pretty Boy, but they are actually heavier than both of them. As a huge For Today fan I was kinda sad when they decided to hang it up. But this was a pleasant surprise. LA Hardcore legends Terror never disappoint! Let's hope a full length is on the way soon.
