The newest release from this fairly new hardcore band, Ceremony’s “Scared People” brings more of the blazing hardcore from the 90’s powerviolence end of the spectrum. Comparable to Infest and Crossed Out, it is good to see a band in that vein gaining notoriety in a scene filled with breakdown-centered bands. Ceremony brings slow intros to nearly all of their releases, helping them to step away from their influences and carve their own space in hardcore. Their cover of Negative FX’s “Feel Like a Man” is decidedly different from the rest of the record, but is still very entertaining.
