This time out I'm returning to the U.S.A. for a band from New York state called
Half Man. These guys were around from the early to mid 1990s and played an interesting brand of metal influenced hardcore that, to my ears, sounds like it would have been at home on
Ebullition records. This post includes their two 7" Eps and their sole Lp, "As Everything Fell Apart." Their sound transitions some from the Eps to the full-length, with the earlier material sounding more reminiscent of early Ebullition bands like
Struggle or
Downcast, while the Lp showcases a heavier, more metallic sound that brings to mind 90s greats like
Rorschach,
Ottawa and even
Antischism. While I dig the Eps, the 12" is by far their best material and a great slice of 90s hardcore punk.
