Album Review: Backtrack -Lost In Life

Album Rating: A- 

Backtrack is quickly becoming one of the leading names in current hardcore music. With their furious debut, Darker Half, becoming a modern classic, they are taking no prisoners in their barreling spiral forward. With a touring schedule that rivals no other and a new album, their first on Bridge 9 Records, Backtrack is on path to take 2014 by storm. Lost In Life may only be their second full-length album, but it has the strength and stability of a band that has firmly rooted themselves in what they try to be.

Artist of the Day: Backtrack

The New York hardcore scene has always been at the forefront of heavy music, churning out multiple legendary bands over the past few decades. Currently, no band in said scene is as important as Backtrack. The group's debut album, Darker Half, is a relentlessly unforgiving attack on the ears. Never letting the listener catch a break, Backtrack barrel through almost 20 songs before letting the album come to a close. Despite being a hardcore band, they are extremely accessible and are not entirely polarizing to people who may not enjoy heavier music.
