The Faith / Void

The Faith/Void split from 1982 pairs two Washington hardcore outfits with contrasting approaches: The Faith offers concise, melodic and tightly arranged hardcore with controlled vocals and a focus on songcraft, while Void delivers abrasive, chaotic bursts of aggression, dissonant guitar work and shouted delivery. Together the release captures the raw energy and experimental edges of early American hardcore punk, showing the scene's range between melody and extremity.
