CAST ASIDE - The Struggle

Artist:  Cast Aside

Album: The Struggle

Year:  2004

Genre:  Hardcore

Although I fell out of love with metallic tough guy hardcore ages ago, I still check out new bands from time to time, and occasionally something comes along that catches me the right way.  “The Struggle” by Richmond’s Cast Aside is one of these records.  This album is ferocious.  Of course, the obvious comparisons come to mind…the first Terror record…the first Until The End full length…and the Hatebreed record of your choosing.  Cast Aside rip along with all the intensity necessary to convince anyone they are harder than you.  Do you need another one of these records?  Most likely you don’t, but if you’re looking for something to fill an aggressive void you’re having, Cast Aside will not disappoint.
