I despise warmongers, I despise dream killers, I despise the killers of the poor, and for these reasons I have always been into music that takes a stand against the true ills of our global society! Poland’s Calm The Fire are one of those bands, and their soon-to-be-released album There is No Cure, via No Sanctuary, is full of the kind of hate that gets my blood going! They kick out 11 charred hardcore/crust songs, with the fury of 1000 protestors in black balaclavas. Calm The Fire is a fast-moving angry weather system that wants to destroy every unrightous thing in its path. You feel and hear how their surroundings have helped shape the way they see their existance on this planet. Calm The Fire manifests the the kind of hardcore that’s dripping with the blood of metal, and it seems like their music has been burned in the flames of hell. Something about this band’s sound gets me ultra hyped – maybe it’s that their riffs have the force to break all of the racist assholes’ jaws worldwide. Calm The Fire’s drumming is in attack mode from the very first song on the album; these are the kind of beats that smash in the heads of all of the police that want to do us harm. Their songwriting is off the chain – they know how to build songs that make you stand to attention with furious melody raining down on your skull. Their singer gives his vocal cords a gnarly workout on every fucking tune, plus his lyrical content is on point. When “Born In Pain” starts blasting through your speakers, you will hear how hot hell really is, because you would have just heard 1:30 of pure fire! Calm The Fire does not just fuel your fire of dissent, they also hit awesome notes of empathy and emotion. As an album, There is No Cure, holds up a mirror to the wretched face of the humanity. After listening to Calm The Fire on repeat, I know we can all find the answers within our rage if we direct it at the real enemy!
