During the last quarter of 2007, I was browsing Myspace and checking out different mid to late 90's hardcore/metalcore bands, when I landed on Inner Dam's page. What made me curious to check out this band is their apocalyptic and dark album covers/artworks. I listened to the first track in their Myspace playlist, which is 'The Last Seconds Of Forever'. While listening, I sent them a message to inquire if they still have some leftover stuff for sale. John messaged me back and told me that they are all out of Inner Dam stuff, damn! On the brighter side of things, John and I became good friends. He is also into fanzines, slasher movies and collecting action figures. One day I got an e-mail from him, telling me that Inner Dam's discography will see the light of day soon. I was stoked! It will be released under Self x True Records which is based in Moscow, Russia. Included in the discography are all their EPs and unreleased songs along with 7 cover songs from Unbroken, Chokehold, Undertow, Helmet, 108, Inside Out and Integrity which were recorded in 2010. I got my copy from John. Those who are not familiar with this band, they play metallic hardcore which tons of heavy riffs and unyielding breakdowns. Lyrics deal with condemnation, deceit, endless suffering, questioning faith, hate, and the immoralities of mankind. Now, give your Avenged Sevenfold CD a rest, and start listening to some real metallic hardcore that will leave you bruised and broken!
