Claiming that Agnostic Front have become (after always having been) a guarantee of absolute adherence to forms of metallic hardcore, having played the role of initiators of the genre, might seem redundant and perhaps such as to undermine the relevance of the New York band, but that is not the case, because the statement should be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the irreplaceable role of Roger Miret, Vinnie Stigma, and their companions in the music scene that has seen them as protagonists for over five decades.
With "Warriors," their ninth album, all this is magnificently highlighted, emphasized, and amplified, thanks to sounds that incorporate invigorating doses of thrash, while remaining firmly cemented in hardcore. Additionally, the approach to songwriting, which is - in an unmistakable way - a product of the positive exuberance that Agnostic Front carry within them, is more oriented towards interpenetration and mixing, where the crossover that might materialize in your thoughts should be seen as a harmonious encounter of sincere sonic expressions and a result of the desire for brotherhood and unity between notes.
The album is extremely solid, featuring fourteen tracks that hit hard and never let go, thanks to a clean, square, and straight production aimed at Freddy Cricien of Madball and the ruthless recording by Zeuss, and an underlying structural simplicity, which has its own reason for existing in the fact that the live dimension is already inherent in the genetic code for which the pieces are conceived, given that Agnostic Front would not be who they are without an incessant and grueling (even for spectators!) live activity. The hardcore faith is elevated to its maximum power through guaranteed pogo anthems with titles like "For My Family," "Revenge," "We Want The Truth," "No Regrets" or "Change Your Ways", which speak for themselves and further validate the healthy pride that animates the group.
Consistency, respect, dedication, passion, commitment, anger, belonging and music! How to keep up with the times and remain true to themselves.
