Rise Records seems to be taking a bit of a kicking at the moment. Their detractors complaining that they continue to sign “hardcore” bands, who are nothing more than five to six pairs of skinny leg jeans and a never ending succession of brutal breakdowns. It’s a shame, because the hardcore scene can be more than that, and can bring genuine innovators to the table. Scarlett O’Hara unfortunately lies in the former category, and while their technical proficiency is solid, their newest album 'Lost in Existence' is all loud shouting with no real soul behind it.
Overall though, 'Lost in Existence' is a weak offering, bland in most parts, horrible in others. A passing listen will not find anything particularly agreeable, but nothing too offensive. They will then forget it the moment they go to do something else. Deeper listens will be more painful. It is pretty much devoid of any creativity or originality. If loud guitars chugging along with a double kick drum accompanying over and over again is what hardcore music is these days, things are bleak indeed.
