If there is one thing to should ever be said, with no other words spoken, about the Warriors’ third full-length album, Genuine Sense of Outrage, it’s this: sometimes, your ears just need to be punished.
Genuine Sense of Outrage is an album that’s irate, seething, mad, OUTRAGED, and this metalcore en bloc has no problem telling you so. Marshall’s throaty snarls on opener “Ruthless Sweep” are outrageously fierce, even sometimes deliriously harmonious, while Charlie & Javier shred on their guitars in equal umbrage. On “The Price of Punishment” and “Odium Vice,” Matt’s drums beats smack you down hard and Danny’s multi-layered bass lines are intensity personified.
The Warriors’ amalgamation of hardcore, hip-hop, and trash on Genuine Sense of Outrage creates a sound that’s beyond rage, and while sometimes over-hyped, works successfully. There’s rhythm. There’s lashing. There’s anger. .
