OUR RATING 80/100

The End A.D. from Philly was formed in 2014 and has members from some of the filthiest bands of the city. Ami Friend who is one of the most exciting singers to see live joined The End A.D. on vocals back in May of 2017. The End A.D. unleashed two releases since Ami joined the band: Their 12inch color vinyl EP “The Smell of Despair” via Kill Time Records and their split cassette release “Sermon of Violence” with the all female Thrash band Tormentress from Singapore via Hellforced Records. After the release of the first new single "Why Won't You Die" and a second one coming up in early october the brand new album "Badlands" was released through Fastball Music / SOULFOOD on november 29th. An album surely interesting and various, starting with the album opener "Addiction" to the final epic "I Wanna Be Alone", where the band demonstrates how pure, powerful, dirty and still fresh and exciting punk metal can sound like these days. We can find squared riffs, great solos, songs more classic such as BE HERE NOW, or more thoughtful and lilting such as JUNKIE LOGIC, or darker such as TUNDRA. Just in the last year The End A.D. has had the privilege of sharing the stage with such great acts as Murphy’s Law, Cro-Mags (Harley Flanagan), Eyehategod, The Accused A.D., Vicious Rumors, Raven, Sulaco, TFD, Mentors etc.

SURELY INTERESTING!
