NO WARNING
Suffer, Survive
Warner Bros. Records
8/10
No Warning combines hardcore and metal in a manner that grabs your attention and never lets go for the duration of “Suffer, Survive” ending up as something of a mix between labelmates Linkin Park and Suicidal Tendencies in terms of the band’s overall sound.
This mix comes off as being a lot tougher than it sounds, with “Modern Eyes” coming off like a bag of gravel in flight through mid-air, coarse and uneven, but weighty and bruising upon impact. Vocalist Ben Cook can let loose with an angst filled blast of verbal venom just as easily as he can launch into a highly tuneful refrain, abrasive as his delivery may be.
Catchy choruses never hurt, and this record is filled with those. Riffs are designed for maximum force, whether ringing chords or chugging mosh-inciting power rhythms. No Warning are at their finest when they let loose inhibitions and just bust the music out, which makes it such a pleasant surprise that there’s not a clunker in the bunch here.
Each of the songs on “Suffer, Survive” has the ability to get your neck snapping’ and your body moving, regardless of your own personal musical tastes. This is a band that has the personality of a Daisy Cutter, the chops to back it up and most of all, ass kicking jams that will have you counting the days until they arrive to destroy your local concert venue.
