Torn Apart - Ten Songs For Bleeding Hearts (1999)

This isn't a very good hardcore album; in fact by today's standards, it might almost fit in. However, it came over 10 years ago, and at the time, I loved it! Torn Apart was a hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland that existed from about 1994 to 2001. This was out before it could be labeled metalcore and was nice and pissed off for anyone who was able to find them. At times, sounding like Coalesce, Turmoil-- they played alongside bands at the time like Adamantium, Disembodied, Endeavor, XDiscipleX A.D., Indecision (getting nostalgic yet? Or too young to remember?), and blew minds in the late 90's at many hardcore festivals up and down the east coast. Right when they began to blow up though it seemed they disappeared, and only recently did I see that they had officially disbanded by 2001. Their other releases are nearly impossible to find, so if anyone actually likes this, I can continue searching. This was more a nostalgia trip and a request fulfillment for my brother than anything else. Also, the Guns 'N' Roses cover is absolutely garbage. Not even funny, it's bad.

Misery Index - Traitors (2008)

Baltimore, Maryland's pride, born from being former members of Dying Fetus, another local outfit playing similar tunes. Over the years Misery Index has gotten more experimental but have stuck to their typical formula for the most part, which is in no way bad. If anything they are faster, tighter and more brutal than ever. The production values have definitely risen and so have their abilities.
