La Miseria de tu Rostro - Savia

Sometimes, youtube can be just as good a place to find new bands as any blog out there; such is the case with me finding this Chilean specialty.  From the cover alone, you might think this is some straightforward Deathwish style muscle-flexing, but you'd be wrong.  La Miseria brings together all the offshoots that Hardcore created in the 90's: Screamo, Metalcore, Melodic Hardcore, Mathcore...  The only thing that's missing is Pop-Punk, which, you can rest assured, will never be posted here.  They also blend all these sounds very nicely; all the influeces are distinct, but not choppy.  The production is well and clean, which fortunately, is becoming more and more common with small-time bands like this.  This is just a great little album that has the hardness, the variety, and the substance.  Fans of Trial, Breach, Reversal of Man, and Loxiran should all find something to like here.
