Count Me Out

Permanent (Indecision)
by Adrian Bromley

Monstrous, in-your-face aggression pours out of Count Me Out's latest offering, a pretty straightforward hardcore album that rarely steps off the pathway of therapeutic screams to venture into something different. But I ain't complaining, as I like how this band has stepped up to the plate and just let it all out. Permanent's 12-song, 20+ minute offering is full of spirit, brawn and honesty. Had the band thrown other various styles/sounds into the mix, the beating wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. These bruises will stay with me for a while...
