Oak

From: Sweden (Can't spell the city name due to lack of special characters).
Genre: Screamo, Hardcore, Chaotic Hardcore
For Fans Of: Converge, Antioch Arrow, Pg.99

Oak takes some of the most primal, chaotic parts of hardcore and mashes them together in one super lump of insane hardcore. This band reminds me of emoviolence bands in all of the best way possible, as in interesting riffs yet still retaining heavy, crushing riffs that make your brain want to implode. The bland charges through song after song, ripping apart any dead space and making sure there is absolutely no room to breathe. When breakdowns do hit, they are crushing masterpieces, maintaining the intensity and making sure that the listener has no time to settle down and feel comfortable. This is not to say that Oak is simply a band who relies solely on their extremity, however. As well as maintaining the raw passion and power reminiscent of early Converge, the band also shows their ability to craft a strong post hardcore melody amid the chaos. Check it out.
