Colin of Arabia - Pain Machines

Colin_Of_Arabia-Pain_Machines-2009-GRAVEWISH
In an era where Hardcore has been sliced and diced and its byproduct Metalcore is sold as a high end replacement to an era where there was more grit then glamour and more balls then precision, an act like Colin of Arabia was the only likely reaction to the corporate takeover of the beloved 'Core. Bands today deceive the masses by ducking under the pretenses of "Hardcore" building a legion of loyal fans within the underground only to use them as a weight in a major label deal. Yet it's the bands like Colin Of Arabia that not only place themselves at the heart of the scene but also facilitate its growth and its rebellion against the big glossy over priced glam versions of its roots. Colin Of Arabia are a rare breed of bands bent not on world domination and Warped Tour but of changing the face of Hardcore back to a time when it took more then a few visits to Hot Topic to make the cut out on the floor each weekend. Blood, sweat, never tears and countless halls and basements laid to waste is what is the legacy and destiny for Colin Of Arabia. Call it nihilistic outlet of aggression, call it punk and disorderly, and call it the return to the roots of where it all began.
