PUNISHMENT BROKEN BUT NOT DEAD THORP |

album title, eh? Well, the quintet known as Punishment echoes that lackluster
sentiment on its punishing (no pun intended) 11-track metalcore release,
Broken But Not Dead. The Philadelphia based outfit don't pull any
punches. In fact, these guys are throwing them, evident in the brutal guitar
assault found in "Burning Souls" and in the throaty aggressiveness
screamed in "Struggle and the Sacrifice". |

the residual effects of urban decay, perseverance, and day-to-day survival,
Punishment's visceral brand of hardcore is as real and brutal as life itself,
and chances are if you dig the harder edge of the East Coast scene, you'll
feel Punishment's harsh reality. |
