T$H - Weight of the World

This is Hell is hardcore in it's purest form.  I happened to go to school with Travis, so of course I'm biased, but this album is a must own. 

It rocks like their first full-length, "Sundowning", and in my opinion, "Weight of the World" is their best album.  Their second full-length, "Misfortunes," is a distant third.

The drums are fast, the vocals piercing, the breakdowns are heavy - it's the best hardcore release of the year, hands down.  These guys don't get the respect they deserve, but I don't think they really care.  They just put out music that kicks you in the face.  And it's awesome.

If you have the chance to listen to this gem, you'll be rewarded.

And if you have some more time, check out guitarist Rick Jimenez' band, Soldiers. 

Also, if you want a little lighter listening, give Travis' brother Brandon's band, Nightmare of You, a listen.  You'll be pleasantly surprised what he's evolved into since his late-90's, early-2000's melodic hardcore band The Movielife.  It's the first time he's done vocals, and he kicks ass.

Going to rock out.
