CoC : Datakill - L'Odio : Review

Datakill - _L'Odio_
by: Adrian Bromley (4 out of 5)

Over the last few years, I have received a lot of releases (mostly indie acts) from Italy that play hardcore/metal-inspired music. They love the stuff over there. So when I got the new release by Datakill in, I was ready for some hardcore/metal action! After the first listen, I quite enjoyed this five-song demo from Datakill. With definite influences from veterans like Suicidal Tendencies, Cro-Mags and Biohazard, it launches into a truly potent dose of tight, tough grooves that would send any mosh pit into a frenzy (check out the title track). They band also had enough balls to cover the Suicidal Tendencies' classic "Fascist Pig". Nice job, mi amici! I'm excited for this band and want to hear more. Right now all I can do is cheer them on, as Datakill are in charge of their own destiny. I think they'll make the right choices.
