Hell Is For Heroes

You Drove Me To It

Label: Chrysalis Release Date: 20/01/2003

3133
-Raz- by Raziq Rauf January 19th, 2003

That’s a bit harsh. Isn’t it? I mean, if you’re a hero, you want some kind of reward for your duties. Nah, fuck you. *Heroes *are the only ones able to deal with the fire and brimstone and general carnage that you may encounter. Reasons not to be a hero.

But then you encounter *Hell is for Heroes *and you wonder what qualifications you need to enjoy it. Do you need to be 12 years of age or can you listen to this credibly in a healthier post-teen state? It’s _all _about image these days, dontcha know. Cos y’see I can happily listen to *Deftones *and know that they’re cool. I’ll look well hardcore, me. Probably. But then you mix it with a few extra pop notions and soar the vocals. Surely this is _way _too commercial now. Ha ha yeah. Too bloody right it is. It’s class.

This hasn’t _got the deep funk that you need to dance to; just a chugging guitarline that will embed itself into the flesh of your ventricular cavity and then it’ll hold on for dear life. It _will become love.
