Agnostic Front's thirteenth studio album, “Echoes in Eternity”, delivers a potent blast of their signature sound. Released on Reigning Phoenix Music, the album features 15 tracks compressed into a 27-minute runtime. Tracks like the opener, "Way of War" and "Hell to Pay", deliver classic, cross-over hardcore that has defined the band since the early ‘80s.
My favorite track, "Matter of Life & Death", features a guest appearance by hip-hop icon Darryl "DMC" McDaniels of Run DMC. This is more than just a cameo, it’s a fusion of two foundational New York City genres, serving as a nod to the shared cultural origins of hardcore and hip-hop.
“Echoes in Eternity” continues to be a vehicle for social commentary, addressing themes of political corruption, unity, and resilience. While the album adheres closely to the established Agnostic Front formula—short, hard-hitting, and focused—it's a high-quality entry in the bands extensive catalog.
I'm always glad to see people who still care about music.
