Pulver .\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Author: Gary Meskil.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Pyramid Sound Recording Studios, Ithaca, New York.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Pro-Pain's debut album, Foul Taste of Freedom, it fit neatly into the urban hardcore\/rap-metal hybrid inspired by Anthrax and epitomized by Biohazard. The rap influence was subtle, apparent in the rhythmically shouted vocals and an occasional funked-up drum flourish, but it wasn't wildly different from hardcore\/metal mosh bands like M.O.D. Its classification probably had more to do with the time-frame in which it was released -- Anthrax's duet with Public Enemy on \"Bring the Noise\" was fresh in metal fans' minds, and other well-publicized collaborations were in the offing, so the hardened, street-level aggression of Foul Taste of Freedom was perhaps credited to hardcore hip-hop a bit more than it should have been. Whatever its classification, though, Foul Taste of Freedom packs a wallop; even when Pro-Pain's riff-writing skills lapse, they have the power and aggression to remain a punishingly heavy sonic force. \"Pound for Pound\" was something of a success on MTV's Headbanger's Ball specialty show. ~ Steve Huey","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46025020866847,"sku":"886922704406","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/d397d351036dced6ae18869cdb43cb24_e92a00b4-2674-4b5f-ba74-e21fa6ad5aec.jpg?v=1777787829","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/foul-taste-of-freedom","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
