PROCLAMATION - Taken By Force


Location: Boston, USA
Release: Brigde 9 Records, 1999 (out of print)

Taken by Force figures on my top 10 albums of that period! It was also my first B9 record, sixteen songs around 19 minutes, including 2 covers by INFEST and SIEGE!! So you know you're up to, fast and mean HARDcore.

Don't know much about their background but B9 gave the weirdest release note back then, mentioning they were hated and controversial (!) The lyrics are indeed very direct and holds no remorse, packed with sxe pride.

Another interesting aspect here is the artwork's theme chosen: Ash from the Evil Dead series, plus a excerpt from 1990's Total Recall at the end of the CD completes the cool ill concept of the album.

Before this record they put an EP in 1998 also through B9 and some scattered demo songs that can be found in their discography CD "Let The Truth Be Told". But frankly? Taken by Force is their BEST!

(Let The Turth Be Told - Director's Cut Discography)



"2014 marks the 15th anniversary of Proclamation's Bridge 9 CD, Taken By Force. Drummer Nate Gendron & I decided to make the band's discography available for free download to celebrate the anniversary.

Originally released on CD by Life Sentence Records and then digitally by Hold True, Let The Truth Be Told contained the band's complete output in remixed (B9 releases) & remastered form.

However, we were legally hamstrung on including certain content. The version for free download is the "Director's Cut" of the discography and includes everything as we intended it to be heard. Please feel free to tell anyone who might be interested" - Mark Fields Jan, 2014

BROKEN TEETH - Collections

Location: Manchester, UK
Release: Neutral Words Records, 2013

Just got my copy of BROKEN TEETH's collections on tape nicely packed by this new UK label, Neutral Words. The tape gathers their S/T 7", the Seeker EP and the "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" 7", 10 tracks total.

The improvement here is very noticeable, record by record, in which their latest 2012 album "Ain't No Rest..." stands out the most. SOLID!
