Artist Reign Supreme

As its name suggests, Philadelphia’s skin-peeling quartet Reign Supreme makes no bones about its high opinion of itself, once claiming that 2009's Testing The Limits Of Infinite would “unquestionably change the landscape of heavy music.” Um, no—it won’t, and it didn't. But that doesn’t mean the band’s tried-and-true formula of metallic hardcore, stomping breakdowns, and youth-crew shout-alongs is anything less than simply stunning.
