H8 Inc.- A Clockwork Misery CD review

‘A Clockwork Misery’ by H8 Inc. CD review

‘A Clockwork Misery’ is H8 Inc.’s latest and possibly greatest release as of yet.  With their penchant for nihilistic brotherhood and misanthropic unity, they dole out thirteen well-crafted songs about the people these guys hate and the brothers that they love.  Beast, the vocalist, has a snarly, snarky, angry voice that rings of Henry Rollins in his later days, albeit a bit raspier.  Despite the alienation H8 Inc. preaches, they do embrace unity, and some Oi!-influence makes its way in, as many tracks are quite catchy with their choruses, including the title track, ‘We Hate the World’, and ‘The Lecher’.

This isn’t hardcore in the vein of the Circle Jerks and Hated Youth fame; this has both very fast parts and some strictly hardcore spots (i.e. breakdowns complete with Oi!-influenced chants), which blend very well together.  Another element that is important to note is that these guys are Detroit lifers; as far as I know, they have been around making music since the late 80s, and there is something to be said for that level of dedication.  Not many people are willing to stick around and make Detroit a better place, especially in the face of overwhelming adversity.  I don’t know if anyone can truly understand why anyone sticks around to help Detroit develop, but these guys have been around and will be here for years to come.  H8 Inc.’s ‘A Clockwork Misery’ is a Detroit-bred piece of hardcore well-worth owning.  The band members might be large and imposing, but they sure do make some killer music.
