Review by Shadowdoom9 (Andi) for State Craft - Never Forget... (1996)

Here we are again with State Craft, with me reviewing the first EP from perhaps the first Japanese metallic hardcore band. There's never any greatness in the vocals, choruses, and lyrics. To me, it just feels like an Unbroken ripoff that sucks a**, but at least they don't have yet the cheesy symphonics Temperance would have two decades later. Though the song "Break the Cycle" sounds good in the intro, which I like. F*** it, I have better metallic hardcore to listen to. Also that Windows XP wallpaper-like cover art is laughable....

Favorites (only one I even remotely like): "Break the Cycle"
