The Carrier - One Year Later (2008)

Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thecarrierhc

The Carrier's debut full length album, One Year Later. Like the EP this doesn't let up on the passion one bit, you can tell these guys really love what they're doing. This results in an absolutely pounding experience of anger and rage along with a whole other range of emotion, although seeing as it's hardcore, it really is mainly anger and rage. The instrumentation is generally great and thankfully they don't rely on breakdowns too much, however the vocals do begin to grate after a while as they're kind of samey, this wasn't a problem on the EP since it was so short, but here it becomes noticeable, it's still no reason not to listen to this though. So do it!

Aggression!

The Carrier - No Love Can Save Me (2007)

The Carrier have poured a whole load of emotion into this 3 song EP and before you ask, no, it's not the whiny 'my life sucks' kind of emotion - it's the kind of emotion that will likely give you goosebumps, which I can't say a hardcore band has ever done to me before. The two guitar players weave through beautiful distorted riffs and the drummer has some pretty cool fills at times. The lyrics are great too, choosing to share the same deep, metaphorical mentality of Shai Hulud. I also have to say the album art is really damn cool. So yeah...

Check it out.
