DRESDEN "Final Hour" CD

Dresden delivers the Midwest’s most recent answer to the West coasts’ domination of the U.S. crust scene. Laden with veterans (members of Wartorn, Despite, Words That Burn, Flags Will Cover The Coffins, and Remission), Dresden pulls from these backgrounds to create a new facet in the crust/metal sound. Riffs range from the Swedish hardcore (reminiscent of Wartorn and State of Fear), to the slow and melodic, to chug filled brutality along the lines of Stormcrow and Hellshock. Drums vary from breakneck d-beat to tribal, which are coupled with the screamed lead vocals and guttural backgrounds that put the finishing touch on this crushing ensemble. www.myspace.com/dresden999
