One of my favorite hobbies is to seek out pioneer bands of heavier and extreme genres, listen to
them a few times and lock me in my room to reflect on their influence and impact. Besides being
great for research and self-knowledge, it is perfect for understanding the construction of unknown
genres. Along with Siege, Dropdead is one of the pioneering bands that mix Thrash elements with
Hardcore and other more absurd elements, giving birth to Powerviolence. In its first LP, the band
shows why they have their legacy, and how it has managed to shape a style so violent and
deafening. Milestone.
