Staple-An ok release. Really on the cutting edge of it's awkward genre of alt-rock meets metalcore meets emocore. Not really too much to say about the release besides that i wouldn't recommend it unless you heard their sophomore release first and liked it. Recommended to fans of: Project 86 and Sordid. Overall Rating: 5/10
Primitive Rhythm Machine-A middle age Mortification release, not really bad, but not amazing. This album is basically a copy of "Relentless" but with tribal influences and guest musicians to fill in the void due to the fact Steve Rowe had no filling members at the time. Not really much to say about this release either besides the fact its another mediocre release. Overall Rating: 5/10
Songs To Burn Your Bridges By-A good followup to the previous album "Truthless Heroes". Sadly their other releases really blew asshole. Their first 2 were too rapcore, and the later ones after the release after this one, i don't know, they just really sucked. This ones best tracks are 1, 3, and 5. Look into those 3 first. The album doesn't really follow a layout like the previous; it has no flow; but it's still rather good. Recommended to fans of: Sordid and Staple. Overall Rating: 5.6/10
(Self-Titled)-A good transitional album. This is where all their material is electronicized but less industrial than previous releases. The album was written in studio by 2 of the 3 members in a short time. Dan weyandt hits his 3rd album mark with the band at this point, and there weren't any original members left in the band at that point. Zao just keeps evolving and changing, and thats why they are likable. Recommended to fans of: Prodigy and Project 86. Overall Rating: 7.8/10
Nietzscheism-A compilation of hard to find HF releases ("Darkness", "Blood And Fire", "Ritual", and "Resistance"). Basically my second favorite release (to the EP "The Gates" of course). I love this album for it's intro track, which is actually "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" by Carl Orff, which is an amazing orchestral piece. Recommended for fans of: Drudkh, Pagan/NS black metal. Overall Rating: 8/10
