Havoc wrought upon my sanity.

Weekly "this artist keeps me sane" goes to Wreak Havoc. There's not much to say about this band. To me, they basically sound like a cross between Ceremony and Modern Life Is War; combining anger and speed with melodic guitars and slower passages, with overtones of anger, cynicism and philosophy. I wouldn't think it too far to also compare them to bands like Gold Kids, Blacklisted, Betrayed, Comeback Kid, Have Heart... the list goes on. So, if they basically sound like a mash-up of modern hardcore, then what's so good about them? There's an honesty about this band. An expression of pure suffering. Their music spans the adrenalin-pumping and heart-crushing moments of human life and summarises them in the form of song: a powerfully cathartic experience from the start of an album right til the end.
