"Mas Alla De La Muerte" packs more intensity, rage, presence and oppressive pressure changes than most hardcore bands' entire careers. From the opening rumble, Permanent Ruin locks into a steamrolling pummel of blazing riffs, occasional blast beats, mosh breakdowns and blood-boiling vocals that combine for a merciless, hardcore thrill-kill to your emotions and never lets up 'til all puny wimps are left cowering in the wake. For those keeping score, this Bay Area, CA wrecking machine sports members of In Disgust and Condenada. They've also managed to pull Tobia of Look Back And Laugh out of retirement for guest vocals on a track.
