Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from the Boston underground, 'Soma Holiday' distinguishes itself by marrying the ferocity of local hardcore with jagged, angular rhythms and Marxist socio-political critique. The stark instrumentation and working-class lyricism set it apart from the more traditional, speed-obsessed thrash of their regional peers.
