Above This FireIn Perspective (2005)Life Sentence Reviewer Rating: Contributed by: Brian (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on March 11th 2005
I’m getting further and further proof that 2005 really is a rebirth of hardcore. Only, I didn’t expect it to be propelled by (presently) virtual unknowns as well, like Above This Fire. The band does the Bane/Comeback Kid-ish hardcore thing, and they do it fairly well.

lucky! i wish the captain of my highschool basketball team was in a cliche forgettable band! hey doug hows that venue goin, oh yeah i forgot it got shut down, fucking moron above this fier more like above this cheez ball suckass!! i'd rather hang out in the fucking emergency room than get head or see this asshat of a band play. GET THROUGH PUBERTY AND MAYBE YA CAN WRITE SOMETHING GOOD YA FAT JOCKS. Not great, but I've heard much, much worse. you guys are just mad cause your fat nu metal kids that just found out about hardcore. we all know you traded in your kikwear pants for a military cap and buttons. keep posting, no one likes you anyway oh man i saw these clowns at the agora at some really early hour during the day. the one kid has bigger breasts than most my girlfriends, and im sorta jealous of this. the singer looks like a disabled learner student. so its an ugly band with shit music that sounds exactly like dead fo fall and shai hulud but less polished of those two bands. its just anything close to being noteworthy. or worth spending money. let alone minutes froms downloading this sludge. im just supirsed i saw them on the front page. and looks like everyone else isnt happy with the fat kid the disabeled kid and their bands of minions. go ask my mom to play in her basement. whats your point? you're trying to prove that there are more people with their heads up their asses? i already know that. attention everyone..... BREAKING NEWS..... PUNK IS DEAD AND YOUR ALL FAGS! ATF is fun. you know...not only fuck this band, but fuck everyone they are associated with- which means everyone associated with Peabody's, and anyone who goes there. that club is single handedly the WORST fuckin "punk" venue weve ever had. if you work there or support it, stop being so fuckin ignorant. whats your deal? are you the one with the juicy man rod he comes home to after a hard day of laying down breakdown tracks? i'll agree with that, why yall gotta hate on a young entrepreneur? He's a good guitar player, so what if hes got goals outside of his parents basement and this so called hardcore scene. right? ricksans.com is one of the best sites in the history of the internet. c'mon, rick sans is a funny dude! embarassment to the city of cleveland. bro-core, dude. can't wait to jump in on those fashion lines the schlong lovin guitarist is starting at http://www.ricksans.com the only real useful thing with this cd is it's use a coaster for my fucking beer. whoa buddy. this band hardly fucking stands out in the cleveland scene. fake ass hardcore dicks are pretty fucking easy to come across.i can think of many cleveland bands way fucking better than these cock chomps. and who the fuck cares how nice they are? wow...a bunch of "punk" kids posting about an album they dont like.sorry guys but this band has never claimed to be a straightup hardcore band. basketball is hxc. and your all fags who dont know what your talking about. These guys are good friends of mine, and they worked their asses off for what they have. The new albums awesome."get a life you suck" - step to this if the drummer weren't one of my best friends, i wouldn't give this band the time of day. wow yeah...REALLY original cover art here. Ahh Above this Fire. We thought we hardly knew thee. From the moment Andy sank that backwards 3 pointer from across the court to seal the championship he knew he was destined for greatness. I know this band is the most ridiculed and "biggest joke" from Cleveland in a long time. But come on guys! Have you ever read the lyrics?? So much beatuy in them. I learned to get over heartache and I found GOD because of them! If this band came out before Minor Threat they would of stolen all of their material. They're pretty much the same thing as them. But better because they are the product of our lord, savior and friend Jesus Christ. Carry on LT! Carry on! CARRY ON FOR THE LORD! agreed, the song is good and derek hess is the shit. Some pants guy did the layout? i liked the mp3 i downloaded. plus derek hess did the cover art. these guys are fucking losers, they're an embarassment to the cleveland scene. voted "most likely to be hockin on a meatpole for a record deal" in my magazine. oh well at least noone on this site gives a flying fuck about them. if playing the same style of music for 5 years is jumping on trends, put them on the wagon. You kids are haters. This cd kicks ass and they deserve it. and also, not that it matters to the music much.... the singer was one of the biggest jocks at my highschool. go figure. these guys are the BIGGEST ego-maniacs i have ever come across. they were recently on a local college radio show, and the host referred to one of the guitar players as a "living legend". yeah, brah. jesus christ, every single cliched aspect of metalcore can be found in these songs. this is bad music. at least the singer is tolerable. I do not enjoy Bane. This is true. But I have a situation here that a lot of people are probably familiar with but they don't even know it. I bought my ride cymbal from Above This Fire's drummer, who my friend and I had called "SXE Van kid" previously (because he drives around in a minivan with SXE and hardcore band stickers all over it and we didn't know his name). I would have probably never known this band and I would have never bought this cd if I didn't happen to run into him at a shitty local firehall show a while back. So then you get to the point where you're like "uhh, am I preordering this cd because the drummer is a nice guy or am I preordering this cd because I know I'm going to like the music?" Then when you like the cd, you ask yourself " Do I like this cd because it's good or because I know them semi-personally?" This band is horrendous. They're not "positive" they're dicks. This band is pretty horrible. hahahaha zing. | Features
