Released in 2007, Count Me In was produced by Jim Siegel (whose credits include Blood for Blood, Dropkick Murphys, etc.), and like such hardcore/metal frontrunners as Hatebreed, Death Before Dishonor merge drill-instructor vocal barking and gang-shouted choruses with metallic, crunchy riffs and brisk tempos. Just take a gander at the song titles -- "Break Through It All," "F*** It All," "Nothing But Agony," "Still Standing," etc. -- and you'll get the (correct) idea that the music contained within would provide a dandy soundtrack for a bunch of tough skinheads violently running into each other.
