I’m tolerant of a lot of different types of music and I always try and give every band a fair crack of the whip – but I’ve never ‘got’ hardcore bands who de-tune their guitars to B and then simply bark over a pummelling soundtrack of machine-gun drums and basslines. Ashema simply stick to a very tried and tested formula and throw in a couple of metal guitar parts for good measure. There’s no cohesion, no structure and it sounds exactly the same as any other band who throw various hardcore elements together and hope they stick.
In a word, crap.
