Album Review: Isolation by Abreast (NG) Released in 1997 under the German label Lost And Found Records, Isolation by Abreast (NG) is a raw and unapologetic dive into hardcore rock. This album doesn’t just play—it punches. With its gritty energy and relentless intensity, it’s an underrated gem that deserves more than just a passing listen. The opening track, “Isolation,” sets the tone right off the bat. It’s heavy, both lyrically and musically, with chugging riffs that feel like they’re dragging you through an emotional storm. The vocals are strained but deliberate, almost like they’re fighting to be heard over the chaos of instrumentation. What sticks with me about this song is its honesty. You can tell these guys weren’t trying to polish anything up; they let the rawness speak for itself. Another standout is “Dare Yourself.” If there’s one track on the album that feels anthemic, it’s this one. The chorus hits hard, urging listeners to push past their limits—a theme that resonates even outside the context of hardcore music. I remember blasting this song during a road trip once, windows down, screaming along without a care in the world. That’s the kind of vibe it gives off: chaotic freedom wrapped in distorted guitar lines. Tracks like “Prejudiced” and “Not For Us” round out the album with biting social commentary, while “Open Your Eyes” slows things down just enough to remind you that beneath all the aggression lies some genuine introspection. It’s not perfect—some transitions feel abrupt, and the production has that lo-fi edge typical of ‘90s underground releases—but honestly? That’s part of its charm. Reflecting on Isolation, it strikes me how much albums like this get overlooked today. Hardcore rock from the ‘90s had a certain grittiness that modern productions often lack. Listening to Abreast (NG), you don’t just hear music—you feel it. Like, who needs auto-tune when you’ve got passion, right? Unexpectedly, though, what really stuck with me wasn’t just the sound—it was the realization that isolation isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes, being alone forces you to confront truths you’d rather ignore. Maybe that’s why this album still hits different after all these years. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it. Either way, crank this one up if you want something real.
