3:01 mark.
When you talk about Baltimore hardcore, there are a few bands that are mentioned as no brainers, such as Gut Instinct who date back to the late 1980's, Next Step Up who dominated the early 90's landscape or Slumlords who brought the scene into the new millenium.
A name that also needs to be mentioned in the same breath, is Stout. Formed in 1995, the band brings about feelings of absolute terror and physical dominance. While they may have never forced their way into an opening slot of a Vision of Disorder show under threat of violence, tales of singer T.A.D. windmill moshing in the former venue/hall closet that was Hal Daddy's during shows featuring themselves and local death metal slammers Dying Fetus will have you gripping your face with phantom pains.
An imposing figure at 6 foot 100 inches, T.A.D. stalks the stage as though he were a starved grizzly bear eyeing up its next meal. Inciting violence with each breath into the microphone, perfectly complimenting the churning, gargantuan mosh riffs that bring up the rear.
The perfect soundtrack to a brawl, they have released two full length records through UK label, Rucktion Records, home of all that is ignorant and moshworthy on the european continent and a recent EP entitled Tales From The Marked Side on Filled With Hate records, an appropriately titled label for the latest from the masters of hateful hardcore.
Dedicated to Andrew and the guy who said the blog needed more hardcore.
