Crisis of Faith - Split w/ Chokehold

Year: 1992
Label: Grinding Edge
Tracks:
Crisis of Faith side:
1. Hardline
2. Ecological? Business (Lake)

Chokehold side:
3. One Scream
4. Second Hand Murder
5. Ignorance And Oppression

Probably the only reason Crisis of Faith is still known is because they did a split with arguably the best Canadian hardcore band of the 1990s. I’m not the biggest fan of Crisis of Faith, but Chokehold’s side of this split makes it legendary, and worth a pretty penny. Unfortunately, this time Hamilton wins. The art on this record is also pretty cool, as is these dudes’ utter hatred of hardline kids. Chokehold also has an Urban Blight-esque song about the dangers of second hand smoke, some 13 years before Slow Death. It’s also great how inventive Crisis of Faith is with their record speeds. The American Dream spun at 33 revolutions per minute while this split spins at 45 miles per hour.
