"Blood For Blood would be so happy to know that their unending well of rage and hatred for humanity has been tapped by another group of loogans. Featuring some of the most aggressive New York-influenced hardcore ever to be packed into three inches of aluminium and plastic — yes, this is a full-sized disc with only three inches of music — Infected With Rage still crams 11 wallops of blast beats, chugging breakdowns and gut-busting screams into what feels like a well-balanced meal. Then again, while anger and frustration are great sources of inspiration, it's tough to keep up throwing down for more than a minute-and-a-half at a time. Regardless, Infected With Rage may run along the same rut as its primary group of influences (Sick Of It All, Haymaker, All Out War) but with the venom dripping out of eloquent shots "Shut Up Fuck You Die," "Sick Of Your Face" and "Fuck That," there's a passion and oh-so-uplifting current that are endlessly entertaining." (Keith Carman)

"I played a little word game while playing this long-overdue release from Detroit maulers Death In Custody (their previous demo came out quite awhile ago). I played a little word game while blasting this on the stereo and wrote down various impressions while listening and came up with 'agitation,' 'mean,' 'toughness,' 'no BS.' I mean, start with the title. That tells you right there this ain't no garden party. Death In Custody come right at ya with a tough, about-to-explode hardcore sound that has a brawny approach but avoids the chug/breakdown element. Instead, part of the influence comes from older Boston and NYC hardcore and I was thinking that before hearing their cover of Last Rights-via-Slapshot's 'Do What You Want.' A lyrical line that sums it all up? 'That smirk that covers your face is where my boot will find its place.' That’s from 'Done,' it's about an asshole boss and there's also reference made to said individual 'staring down the barrel of a gun.' Subtle. That's one word that didn't make my list. "

"Generally being pissed off at the way things are in 2007 and anything from personal drama, to the scene, to every day life — all of us have something to say and constantly bounce ideas off each other. While other bands talk about unity and loyalty, we’re talking about how it feels to be at a party store being robbed. I think it’s a much more interesting subject." — Death in Custody.

"Fuck, man, I’m not young anymore. When I participated in my first mosh pit since Clinton was in office, I almost rode the highway to hell on a caravan of Camel Lights.

My intuition tells me that I would die at one of Death in Custody’s shows. The shit is short, charged and will punch you in the balls. "Lots of movement," they say, "lots of bottle throwing, beer being thrown and shit talking courtesy of Alex. Ralph usually jumps off the stage and hits somebody in the face. We try to hype up the crowd; it’s really about getting your aggression out and having fun. What’s the point of standing around like some indie kids? Fuck that." Intuition confirmed.

With 'Early-to-late-'80s hardcore punk, bands like Negative Approach, Minor Threat, N.W.A., Slapshot, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front,' the East coast guarantees that DIC is good wholesome punk rock for the entire family (who all hate each other)." - Aaron Rajala
