A Tribute to Living Sacrifice

I have NEVER been a fan of Living Sacrifice. I just could not get into their heavier stuff or their thrashy stuff. I did, however, get a chance to meet the singer, Bruce, one year at Cornerstone. He is definitely a super nice guy. This tribute compilation was requested via this blog, so, thanks to my dude Presley down in Florida, I can post a nice rip of this record for you guys.

Outcry

More hardcore from Cleveland, OH. Outry is a band I wish I would have discovered when they were around because their music is so heavy. I think the best way to describe it is; musically it is a lot like Disembodied, and vocally it is like how Zao's Daniel Weyandt sounds on their split tracks with Training for Utopia or on their 1998 full length release Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest. Shit is so good. Not much to know about them, but there is a fan-ran MySpace page and the only recordings of them that I know of is a five song ep released in 1999 titled Hope for the Torn Heart and a split they did with Christian hardcore band Vessel. I love that chuggy 90s metalcore stuff, especially Disembodied, and this band hits the spot. I'm not sure how long Outcry was together, where all they played, but I'm glad I eventually got to hear of them.

Indwelling

As promised, I've posted Indwelling, the three piece death metal act featuring three members from Overcome: Thomas Washing, Ethan Pajak, and Jason Stinson. Forming sometime in 2000, Indwelling signed to Clenched Fist Records, releasing a demo, but after some time dealing with issues with the release of their full length, headed over to Facedown Records and released And My Eye Shall Weep in 2003. They unfortunately broke up shortly after, never playing shows outside of California and Arizona I believe.
