CoC : earthtone9 - hi-point : Review

earthtone9 - _hi-point_
(Copro Productions, 2000)
by: Adrian Bromley (8 out of 10)

There are few bands out there nowadays that I'll put high on a pedestal with my fave band, Nottingham outfit Pitchshifter. But earthtone9 has easily made the jump to such high distinction. These guys write some of the coolest hard rock / hardcore / noisecore numbers out there. With a real kinetic vibe and a badass flow of intensity, English outfit earthtone9 know how to stay grounded, but expand with this four-song outing by using momentum and technology. Keep your eyes peeled for these guys and get down to opener "Tat Twam Asi".
