Ultimate Disaster, Sweet Fantasy, & Mortal Filth at The Golden Lion

Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Richmond, VA must be seriously fucking depressing, cos it’s a proper breeding ground for some of the rawest Stateside hardcore around. Ultimate Disaster kick down the door with classic d-beat boots: buzzsaw stompers powered by world crushing rage, sitting unpretty next to Sweet Fantasy’s pogo-friendly eggy power-core. A real rager FFO: Discharge, Disclose, Disaster, Destruct, Deathcharge (all the Ds), Gimic."
