The big boss man Adam is stepping on my neck and making me write this review, so if it seems forced you now know why. This is the only vinyl output from Tampa Bay, Florida’s Divisions. Tampa is notorious for churning out a vile breed of hardcore full of anger, filth, and desperation (see recent acts such as Cult Ritual, Big Rats, Slavescene, etc… and old timey favorites like Reversal of Man, Scrog, Combatwoundedveteran, Holy Mountain, etc.).

This band actually features a former guitarist of The Holy Mountain playing some insane riffs that put a lot of other current metal-tinged acts to shame. Behind the drums is thee one and only Carson Cox, also of Merchandise & Slavescene and the man/boy responsible for recording anything in Tampa that doesn’t suck, particularly Cult Ritual’s 2nd EP. Filling out the trio is a short, violent pickpocket named Justin who is the reason the band is dead; he is now travelling around Europe leaving a trail of herpes from hooker hick town to hooker hick town. They also released a final tape that honestly blows this ripper away.

There Adam, you happy now?

any word on that tape? I'd gladly score a copy if I could. I hear it blows the 7" away - which must be really something then...

Evander is taking his sweet-ass time, but it's happening! Also, it's still available from the label, I think. Buy it!

I'll gladly buy a copy, but would love a digital version as well...

Didn't Divisions put out around three or four tapes? Anyone have a complete discography?

And since when did Florida get to be so fucking rad...?
