This is the first studio album from BARRICADE since bad diagnosis in 1999. There is so much to love about BARRICADE, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Ivan Grach has compared writing for BARRICADE’s new album to that on ‘Valentine’s Day’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is what good Hardcore should be.
Excellent vocals and musical performances.
Shellmet is one of the coolest songs BARRICADE has ever recorded. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Human Soul is the first taste of the new album. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Enemies. In M. T. V. (TV Maniax) BARRICADE spins a tale you want to hear to the end. So much energy, so exciting a sound.About Love & Hate is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Ugh - Ugh - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. S. F. S. (Shot For Shit) is almost impossible to review. Gore had me crying as I was able to relate so well. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
Valentine’s Day CD
