"Backfire! return with "In Harm's Way", a visceral, aggressive, pounding assault of classic New York fuelled hardcore with a European touch. For Fans Of: BACKFIRE! also Madball, Biohazard, Agnostic Front, Ignite & Terror! "In Harms Way" is Backfire!'s first album since 2003's classic "Change The game" and what a return it is. 5 years in waiting and they do not dissapoint as "In Harm's Way" proves to be Backfire!'s most visceral, pissed off energetic offering to date. Not much has changed stylistically as Backfire! still tread the same floorboards they always did, by playing aggressive New York influenced hardcore with a European touch incorporating subtle melodies here and there. Everything is there, the razor sharp guitars slashing from left to right, the armoured tank artillery, the collossal earhquake like basslines, all mixed with Patrick's signature vocals that spew forth lyrics of angst and frustration..."
