CLOUDED : inheritance - 7"

 

A demo and this unique EP, released in 1998 (on Genet rds) for this band from Belgium. If my memory is good, it seems to me that it's a little bit a continuation of KINDRED. We find the same base of newschool and jerky hardcore. The whole is less direct, and we find post-hardcore influences. A good record.
