Info

There is something in the drinking water up there in the North of Sweden. After a complete hardcore scene in the little town of Umea (Refused, Cult Of Luna), now also Lulea is put on the map. Raised Fist already housed there, and with Breach they had a very great post hardcore band too. It is nice to know that after their split we did not have to search for a worthy successor.

Borg 64 makes an eclectic mix of hardcore, noise, and electronics. You could call them a cross-breed between Refused, Breach, and Alec Empire. Not the least names to be compared with, yet Borg 64 misses a little bit of the songwriting skills to be really placed among them. Aggression there is plenty on this record, a song like 'You And Everyone You Know And Everyone They Know Are Going To Die' leaves out any misunderstanding about this. 'They Are Using Nanoprobes' makes you bounce around the room without allowing much time to catch a breathe. Also because of this the record lasts exactly long enough with its 35 minutes. The electronic drones and bleeps are pushed a little to the background with which I think Borg 64 missed some of the chance to create a completely unique sound. As of yet this is just a smashing progressive hardcore recording with a sharp razor voice, and well, that is also very much good enough for me. Code:Breaker proves with this and the other post hardcore releases this year (Unfold, Lolita Stasi) to be a worthy successor of the Rage Of Achilles label.
