SICK OF SOCIETY from Ulm/Ingolstadt have unfortunately escaped my spoiled ear attention until now, and what is currently blasting around me is simply really awesome, fast, and very hardcore and metal-heavy punk rock! They really pound on the drums and growl into the microphone, just as aggressively and in-your-face as the message behind their music should be: Loud and unmistakable against societal norms and conventions! "Never Like the Rest!" is an album that kicks me in the face right from the first listen. No wonder, as the trio brings a lot of musical experience to the table: SICK OF SOCIETY had their beginnings back in 1989, then still as WICKED POWER. The guys are therefore old punk rock veterans on their instruments, and they mix their totally diverse melodies with German and English lyrics! Even the opener "Destroy the System" inevitably pulls you in, and the two-part vocals come across really well, further enhancing the aggressive core message of the song. With "Never Like the Rest," SICK OF SOCIETY has created an incredibly catchy earworm, a song for those days when you are just fed up with the crap happening around you! And what could be better in these times than to just blast away all that crap with such awesome punk rock! The album simply delivers hit after hit: Songs like "You Have Failed" hit me hard in the face. While the English songs of the band are also powerful, the German lyrics possess an even stronger impact and convey a bit more anger! Additionally, funny elements are packed into the punk rock, like a flute and a children's choir in the song "A Sign Against the Right." With "Asocial," the guys have also created a great punk rock sing-along song for the next party. I really like it, especially with the skate part in the middle! Here again, the enormous range of styles that the trio mixes is noticeable! There is really not a single song on the album that bores me! Moreover, SICK OF SOCIETY have brought in a lot of guest singers, including people from RASTA KNAST, ALARMSIGNAL, THE CASUALTIES, DAILY TERRORISTEN, KASA, and ADAMS APPLE. Of course, the different singers also provide plenty of variety on the album!!! The only complaint I have is that this album lacks a booklet with the lyrics, as they are really damn good! Otherwise, I can only say, get it in your record collection, folks!!!! Available now at www.sn-punx.de
