The Communion

"Without the smell of the carcasses and the flowers, without the taste of the fresh meat and the wine, you are left with very little of the performance."



- Herman Nitsch



"The Communion (from Bethpage, NY) don't linger in one spot

long enough to be easily defined or categorized. The metal/hardcore

quartet can create angst-ridden explosions that make most power

electronics bands seem "light," then on to black metal shrieking and

blast-beat takeoffs that are just as easily swapped out for classic

hardcore 2/4, and swinging sludge riffs akin to Eyehategod. The

Communion do it all, and do it all well, often in the context of a

single three-minute song. Their writing and song-structuring are top

shelf, and the intensity of their execution make The Communion a

hellish live bludgeoning that's not to be missed."



- Wm. Berger
