Coalesce
One of hardcore’s mid-’90s leading lights, Coalesce rocked with a pummeling ferocity that typified records like Give Them Rope and There Is Nothing New Under The Sun. After a couple of impermanent break-ups, the band sputtered to an anticlimactic end around the turn of the millennium, but has intermittently resurfaced with different lineups since 2002, regrouping most recently to record 2009's Ox. Coalesce’s first new disc in 10 years, Ox hasn’t suffered from the band’s relative inaction: It’s a brutal onslaught from four guys who have neck-snapping savagery encoded in their muscle memory.
