The opening instrumental track on War Culture, Quarantine, is a precursor of what you are about to hear. Not that it’s an overture for the album, rather an ominous soundscape that is simultaneously fiercely contemporary and whole-heartly traditional.
While many bands yearn for the authenticity of a clear link to the NYHC scene, Perfect World’s Brooklyn-roots gives the five-piece a certain foot in the door when it comes to Hardcore props.
But, without the chops to back it up, any band would flounder on the rocks of expectation; so it’s a good job Perfect World have the skills to pay these particular bills and combine the traditional elements of classic New York Hardcore with bruising metallic riffs to create a thick and harsh sound.
This combination of metal and hardcore gives the band’s sound a weight that vias with the times Perfect World allow their Big Apple influences to come to the surface, creating a heavy hardcore constructed around huge riffs and abrasive rhythms. Lariat, Mission and album closer Become What You Hate are all fashioned in the vein of the metallic; the weight preventing the songs from being speed-demons, rather making them dangerous sluggers
