What a painful listening. SWK plays a kind of Pro Pain, Machine Head metal (hardcore). This Connection is unfortunately full of indifferent moments. The singer saves the journey, but their song-writting is so poor. Actually, I have heard that a thousand time before. No inspiration, no killing riff, no melodies (at all !!!), no flying moments and a record that seems to be endless ... endless ... endless.

It’s a shame, because sometimes you can fell there is a great potential with SKW. When they concentrate their efforts on more complex songs, they can play great hardcore songs. Sometimes, I was wondering if they like what they play or if they play this type of metal because they think it is going to be the next wave.

As said above, the vocals are excellent, but the rest far to be as good as the vocal. The production of the album is good, with the instruments perfectly balanced, but without good songs ... the production becomes useless.

There are other cd to invest these days in the hardcore scene. Unless you want to buy everything out of this scene, I suggest you try before you buy. There’s not much more to write about this band. Everything is too typical in this Connection to mention something more. Hard work! Hard work is the only way to ... succeed.

Killing Songs :
None!
