SSS, abbreviated for Short Sharp Shock is a young hardcore band from the United Kingdom. They formed in 2005 and released a debut in ?Short Sharp Shock? around the early stages of formation and this is their latest thrashsterpiece ?The Dividing Line.? In 2008 SSS have brought the crossover style of hardcore that we have all come to know and love from the likes of D.R.I, S.O.D, and Municipal Waste and summarized twenty dine-and-dash beat downs through just over thirty minutes of material. The album gives you enough time to recover from the first assault wondering what just happened. You just got hit by SSS and you have nineteen more to go so don?t get too comfortable. The Dividing Line is the second album from these Liverpool lunatics and they continue where they left off to whip up a blistering assault to your senses for each and every waking moment. There is no chance to recover as you are mercifully beat down by frenzy vocals, blistering riff work, and Slayer-esque soloing. The tempos range from fast and heavy to heavy and fast with the exception to the closing track which features the albums first melodic section. There isn?t really much on this album that you haven?t already heard before from other seminal crossover groups but SSS excel at creating some kicking jams for the A.D.D ridden youth of the world. If you like your music cranked to eleven on rapid fire mode then you will enjoy this.
