Album Notes & Community Reviews

'The Age of Quarrel' is a definitive, foundational pillar of New York hardcore that aggressively bridged the gap between punk and thrash metal. John Joseph's furiously angry, street-level vocals narrate tales of urban survival and spiritual warfare over incredibly heavy, breakdown-laden guitar riffs. It is a violently energetic, raw, and highly influential crossover masterpiece.
