About This Album
Although they'll always be considered an '80s phenomenon, N.Y. hardcore heroes Agnostic Front never really went away after their heyday, churning out albums with certain regularity throughout the 1990s and into the '00s. So why does every one of those albums feel like an unexpected return from the brink of certain death? Perhaps this is a trait that's simply inherent to Agnostic Front's music, which, whether realistically or as a matter of perception (who can tell these days?), invariably marks them as underdogs; survivors bearing a "down but never out" grudge against the world that, both torments them no end, and feeds their very need to exist. Whatever the case, it's naturally this same set of qualities instigating this particular episode of that grudge, 2005's Another Voice, which, incidentally, finds Agnostic Front bulked back up to a quintet once again, after the return of Madball guitarist Matt Henderson. Not that this matters much since AF have always been the Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma show -- the former's Pit bull vocals and the latter's clutched-fist guitar remain as devastating a combination as any in rock. Together, they lead the band into 14 bursts of archetypal N.
