Pauly's rage and rants are backed by pure riffage and breakdowns that will make you want to destroy everything in sight and mosh constantly. It's like they picked up right where Cro-Mags and Obituary left off, five raging tunes from Meltdown that will eat your face. "Demolition" is packed with five gut wrenching, brutal tracks that are sure to please any fan of hard, agressive music. "Iron Chains" the opener, starts off with a gnarly intro which will have you start moshing instantly. Pauly's vocals are relentless throughout the whole ep which leave me to think that seeing Meltdown live would be the best thing ever. "Bad Blood" originally released on the demo 7'', is as punishing as ever with the thick guitar sound and raging vocals, pure onslaught throughout the whole five song ep.
Meltdown are a vicious monster who do not shy away from their metal influences one bit, in fact, Meltdown embrace it. While most hardcore bands these days are mixing pop-punk into their sound to catch peoples attention, Meltdown is exactly the opposite. Pure blueprint of pummeling, indulging, brutal hardcore with influences like the almight Integrity, Cro-Mags but adding a thrashy metal to the band. The potent mixture serves the band well, Pauly's lyrical content deliver once again with some apocalyptic/dark views, pummeling riffage, and thick guitar and bass tones have "Demolition" as one of my favorite EPs of the year. "Demolition" puts Meltdown on the map as one of the best metal/hardcore acts out there today. Meltdown is here to stay, this band owns you.
