This is the debut album from US metallic hardcore band End Reign.
The Way of All Flesh Is Decay is a 37-minute fist to the face that features current/ex-members of All out War, Exhumed, Integrity, Lock Up, Misery Index, Noisem, Pig Destroyer, and Scour unleashing sonic fury on the listener.
When describing The Way of All Flesh Is Decay you could use a range of various genre tags, such as metal, hardcore, thrash metal, metalcore, crossover, etc. However, all you really need to know is that this album is crushingly heavy and furiously aggressive.
Taking influence from the old-school and the new, End Reign pummel and punish the listener, while never neglecting the need for hooks and memorability. The songs betray the experience of the band members; well-written and performed, they hit the spot with pulverising force, screeching between hardcore intensity and screaming metallic potency. It’s easy stuff to like if you’re a fan of the heavier side of hardcore and metal. End Reign make this sort of thing look easy.
If you are a fan of ascts such as Cro-Mags, Amebix, Allfather, Merauder, Slayer, Ilsa, Pro-Pain, Stampin’ Ground, Obituary, or indeed any of the bands associated with the band members, then The Way of All Flesh Is Decay is for you.
Very highly recommended.
