Harrowed and Wealdstone marks the final recordings from German bruisers Perth Express. It's quite a shame that the band decided to call it a day as they had just released their discography in the U.S. last year and followed that up with tours in the States as well as abroad. These nine songs see a continued assault on the ears of punishing metal-tinged punk/hardcore in the vein of bands like Tragedy, Trap Them, and Rise and Fall. The songs are short and unrelenting, though they do occasionally mix in some slower dirge riffs which are sweet for headbanging. This is a fitting goodbye from Perth Express, it's just sad to see such a promising band call it quits before they get their dues.
