6 blistering songs on this MCD, released on the young German label Circulation Records. Heartcore; that’s what it says on Reply’s website (check out our Link-page for more info). Don’t let this fool you. There’s nothing romantic about Reply’s music. ‘Heart’ means emotion and purity – check out the lyrics - but above all this is hardcore with a twist. Reply – from Belgium - roam along the borders of what we call hardcore just as Snapcase, Converge and Botch do. Punching riffs, twists and turns and melodies. Expressing anger and frustration in a pit of chaos and order.

So clearly expressed by singer Sven who rants as if someone is twisting a knife into his stomach. Judging a band like Reply solely on their recordings isn’t easy and it wouldn’t be fair. Like many bands in this genre they really come to life on stage. That’s where they shine. This is music you have to experience; it’s raw, unpolished and pushes testosterone through your veins like you never knew was possible. So, if you’re into this kinda hardcore, you can easily add this MCD to your collection.
