Hellshock - Only the Dead Know the End of War

Hellshock is a d-beat stenchcore band from Portland, Oregon. They've been around for a good while, and this album is one of my favorites in particular. This album starts out heavy as fuck, and ends the same way. The levels are this album are also virtually perfect. The bass is just loud enough and deep enough, and doesn't need heavy distortion to feel powerful as fuck. Vocals are low and growled, and as expected, Hellshock delivers brutal fucking melodies along with heavy and fast progressions. I have seen this band live twice, and both times have been thoroughly impressed. If you're into stenchcore or heavy as fuck d-beat at all, check this band out. Best tracks in my opinion are "Your World" and "Olympus".
