Khrama has truly carved out a unique space for themselves in the hardcore scene, delivering a high-energy, raw sound that stands out in a crowded genre. One of the defining features of their music is the striking contrast between their ferocious, monstrous riffs and pounding percussion, and the piercingly high-pitched vocals that immediately grab your attention. The main vocals are intense and distinct, bringing a level of grit and emotion that matches the ferocity of the instrumentation. The backing vocals are effectively layered in, providing an extra dimension to the overall sound, and they bring in some guest vocalists along the way to keep things feeling fresh and dynamic.

Lyrically, Khrama digs into the powerful and important themes of Black culture in America, oppression, and the fight for resistance and survival. These heavy subjects are reflected with raw authenticity, giving the music a sense of purpose that goes beyond just noise. The album’s riffs are consistently heavy, groovy, and menacing, maintaining an edge that keeps the energy high from start to finish. They're jagged and harsh in all the right ways, adding a gritty texture that suits the mood of the lyrics.

The bass is another standout element here, with the bassist really working overtime to give the album that thick, powerful sound that gives everything a sense of depth and weight. And then there are the drums—at times they sound like the work of a multi-armed machine, with fantastic fills and relentless energy that keep the pace up. However, there are moments where the sheer intensity of the riffs tends to drown out the drums a bit, which slightly diminishes their impact.

The production on this album is solid overall, with a good mix that gives everything a nice punch, though, as mentioned, the drums could use a little more clarity in certain spots. One area where the album does lose some of its spark, though, is in the second half. While the songs are still solid and enjoyable, they begin to feel a little more conventional—like typical hardcore fare—compared to the more inventive moments in the earlier tracks. It’s not necessarily bad, but the creative momentum from the first half seems to slow down a bit.

Still, the album is an impressive piece of work, and Khrama has definitely succeeded in creating a powerful, distinctive world of sound that feels uniquely their own.
