The first review of the year is the explosive 13 minutes of unadulterated 'Metalcore/Punk' of Time of Reckoning from Hooks and Bones via Wrecking Crew Records.
Formed in 2017 by four Cocktail Bartenders in Rouen, Normandy, The Frenchmen describe their sound as "a highly flammable cocktail under the influence of metal and punk2. This release showcases those sentiments with songs that cover the social and political unrest of the day.

'Social Rampage' is the second longest track on the EP at 2:11 but the old-school thrash elements remain the same. Hooks and Bones are able to channel their anger with raw emotion and neat guitar work that is technical and aggressive.
The hook-laden 'Too Full' mixes effective punk vocals with full-throttle riffage. The album continues to wear its heart on its sleeves with social commentary, menacing breakdowns, and bone-crushing drumming that reminds this writer of the Bay Area thrash metaller scene of the eighties.
'What's My Name?' is another short track with much malaise. The double blast beats, apoplectic vocals, and riffs stick in the ear long afterward.
And finally, 'Brothers' ends the EP with some daunting breakdowns, pulsating beats and choral screams to wrap up an impressive outing for the former bartenders.
Words by Anselm Anderson Rating 4.5/5
