"If you thought Remains of the Day's last record, "Underlying Frequency" was great then prepare to be even more impressed with their latest record, "Hanging on Rebellion". This album is a masterpiece and has cemented Remains of the Day's position as one of my favorite bands. These guys still use brutal crust as a foundation, but have really nailed a very epic and emotional sound with this disc. There a lot of longer songs that stretch out past 5 minutes where they showcase dynamics that their peers could only dream of copying. This disc is so incredibly balanced, there are shorter songs like "Comb of Prestige" that somehow manage to sound as epic, and powerful as longer tracks like the jaw dropping "Only to Infinity", that builds quietly until it explodes into an overwhelming monster of a track. The playing on this album is tight as I've ever heard, with very memorable guitar and bass parts that range from fast and chaotic to slower and sublime, while the vocals are intensely screamed, right up front. The use of piano and violin once again plays a great role in adding extra dimensions to their sound, making the whole product unlike anything I've ever heard. The production is a little bit muddy, but it sounds great. In fact I couldn't imagine this record being produced any differently or it would detract from the overall experience. The whole recording sounds layered and huge, while retaining a very raw feel which is very important for these guys and gal." This album is an astonishing work in every area. Remains of the Day transcend crust and add so many new elements to the sound, making it impossible to truly classify them." This is a record that words don't do justice in describing, you need to listen for yourself. Highly recommended, and another album that will probably be making my top 10 at the end of the year. Can't wait to catch them on tour." (daredevil.de)
