Reign Supreme "American Violence"

Featuring former Blacklisted member Jay Pepito on vocals, Reign Supreme unsurprisingly sounds similar to Our Youth Is Wasted- and The Beat Goes On-era Blacklisted. The band's debut EP, American Violence, is fast and energetic, but riddled with massive, chunky chord progressions, throaty screaming, and plenty of modern hardcore staples, from gang vocals to two-steppin' grooves and metallic breakdowns. The rumbling riffs and double bass-y drumming sound huge, making a fitting foundation for Pepito's ominous, yet encouraged lyrics. While Reign Supreme doesn't do anything particularly inventive, it's American Violence's huge, hard-hitting sound that pits them in an above-average group of hardcore bands.
