Every year a Razorblade Release, and after their last experimental album "Gegen Die Masse" with only german lyrics, this one is back to the roots. 11 songs of HC-influenced Streetpunk with a little bit more melodies then in the past.

The guys from Holland slow down the tempo for more melodies and rock´n roll parts. For me it´s a great development, cause bands should not play the same sound on and on for years. The lyrics are like a statement for the whole scene. Never give up, stand your ground and fight for what you are.Like in the hit " Warrior Tribe" Don´t they know that we´re not fools, don´t they know that skinheads rule. The tension makes you feel alive. We Are A Warrior Tribe..Skinheads a Warrior Tribe. "Back in History(Badlands Cover)" and " The Bank Of The River Maes" are 2 absolutely great songs full of local patriotism with a little bit romance. Love it.

This one is the best Razorblade album, after the Skinheads Are Back one in 2004. Wouter and his bandmates created a great Streetpunk release full of catchy songs which gets me from the beginning.
