Sacred Sorrow

Evil? You wanna know about evil? Well, if you want to be delivered from it, you should know what it is first. Evil is how Douglas Gene Van Pelt and this shameless magazine will peddle so-called “Pit Moves” in the pages of this once holy magazine. Taking those self-expressive moves from the hardcore dancing that I personally like to partake of (until I threw my hip out at Facedown Fest) and associating it with the pit of Hell is just downright evil. If this editor won’t repent of this wicked labelling, I will knock his teeth out with a granny-fied roundhouse upside the head. Now, about this Sacred Sorrow outfit, I must applaud their efforts at standard hardcore breakdowns and the upbeat energy of a great musical style, but I must also be honest about the sucking-on-persimmons looks I get on my face when listening to some of the straining vocals. Nice try, but bring it on with some real passion next time, boys!
