With Passion

Words: Zed • Posted pre-2010

The west coast is prominently known for its slew of superb rappers, such as Ice Cube, 2 Pac, Too $hort, and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. Rarely do people associate the west coast with metal, and with With Passion's In The Midst Of Bloodied Soil just released, this will soon change. Combining brutal fast paced velocity with relentless technical sonic booms and an underlying rising hand laced with triumph, what more could you ask for in a metal record? Continue forth for an interview with With Passion with few grammatical errors and with a few With Passion exclusives.
