All Out War

New York's ALL OUT WAR is a punishing display of the aggression of hardcore, crossed with the brutality of metal, while avoiding the shortcomings of both genres. To get a taste of All Out War's musical style, envision Slayer's "Reign In Blood" colliding head on with "Age of Quarrel" era Cro-Mags. The two styles are as different as they come, but ALL OUT WAR combines them to form a Crossover attack unmatched by today's standards. While so many bands are creating a diluted mixture of Metal and Hardcore, All Out War brings you their brand of Crossover in the tradition of bands like NUCLEAR ASSAULT, AGNOSTIC FRONT, S.O.D. and KREATOR. "Condemned To Suffer" will solidify ALL OUT WARıs position as one of the most brutal bands - period. With their trademark social commentary on such diverse subjects as the Holocaust, ecocide and the degradation of the hard music scene, one will be hard pressed not to feel the effects of this record. "Condemned To Suffer" is destined to be a Crossover classic ­ it could be the album that brings the genre back to life. Formed almost a decade ago, by vocalist Mike Score, All Out War established themselves as one of the most devastating units in the New York underground. All Out War has become a world-wide phenomenon, amazing crowds from the smallest clubs to major festivals, and playing with such diverse bands as Deicide, Agnostic Front, Napalm Death, Earth Crisis, Sick Of It All, Malevolent Creation, Most Precious Blood, S.O.D., Biohazard, Type O Negative, Cro-Mags, Madball and Hatebreed. All Out War is comfortable in many circles. This five piece has not only crossed over and spit in the faces of the closed-minded, but has been accepted unconditionally both by the metal and hardcore crowds alike. This feat has been attempted countless times, but has rarely has anyone achieved the success of All Out War. With two full-length records and numerous 7" and appearances on various compilations under their belts, All Out War has finally released their follow up to 1998's " For Those Who Where Crucified,² exactly five years later. Capturing the true flavor of the trademark All Out War sound, while somehow bringing forth the intensity felt at an All Out War live show, "Condemned To Suffer" will not disappoint. With positive press flooding the fanzine world, as well as features in well-known publications such as Terrorizer and Metal Maniacs and a Fall/Winter US tour, All Out War is ready to shed their cult hero status and finally get the recognition that they deserve.
