Scarfold-We Shall Suffer album review. FFO: Old school, chunky Hardcore-This is killer!!

What can I say, this is an energy-filled release of straight-up hardcore with huge riffs, groove and power. There is no wasting of your time-just simple, angry hardcore glory. From the first track, you feel you are in the pit with this band. Scarfold has been raging since 2015 and this fourth album seems to be the finest collection of all their skills honed so perfectly. We Shall Suffer is a huge release, it rips from the perfect opener Open Seizure that floors you with an earthquake of a riff backed up by abrasive vocals and killer bass and drums. Massive start to a killer album. Rotting Earth follows thru with the same no bs hardcore confidence that is executed on every track with sublime songwriting and destructively punchy production. Born Decayed slays as strongly but with even greater tempo and a real sense of suffocating tempo and as a bonus has one of hardcore's best vocals via Thiago Monstrinho who adds his usual nuclear-powered vocals. One with the Worms is one of three consecutive tracks with well-selected guest vocalists, this has Laurent from Nothing From No One and is a pacey, rambunctious track of groove vs razor-sharp riffs. The next guest gem is Eat The Dead with Victoria from Peer Pressure and this adds some greater dynamic to the album with magnificent gang vocals counterbalanced with killer guest female vocals and a touch of that beatdown influenced breakdowns. Heart Failure breaks it up as a grim instrumental interlude that is chunky as. We next move into the final two tracks, with the first assault being Suppressor which is a track that keeps you on the end of your seat and continues the influence of NYHC mixed with Terror and similar acts. Spit on Hope ends the album on a huge note and was my fave track, one that thrives on build-up, twisted vocals and pummeling riffs. It's a memorable way to end the album and like most tracks echoes the confidence of spot-on production and excellent no bullshit song writing. This drips in quality and you need it.
