CORECOM is a brilliant, eclectic mix of Sludge, Death, Groove, and Thrash Metal. CORECOM, who originate from Sofia, Bulgaria, have just released their latest album titled "Crawling Under The Heavy Foot Of Addiction" via their record label Balkanton Self-Productions.

"Crawling Under The Heavy Foot Of Addiction" is a musical masterpiece with lyrics so deep that they cut right through to the human soul. The album covers a very important topic that has personally effected many lives: addiction. The album seems to be fairly ambiguous as to what kind of addiction it's aiming towards, but any kind of addiction can metaphorically be like being tramped under a heavy foot. It's a daily battle just to get by, and CORECOM portray that dark, heavy feeling very well in their lyrics.

CORECOM makes it exceptionally clear how things like drugs can ruin people's lives by magnifying their already-existing problems in title-track "Crawling Under The Heavy Foot Of Addiction". The emotional angst is clear as the person has made many poor choices, and their addiction keeps ripping their life further and further apart. In "Reborn" there is a clear contrast to the person who once was an addict as the day they quit drinking was the day their life seemed to begin. Yet opposite all of that there are tracks like "True Badness" that illustrates life as the most beautiful when lived without addictions to substances and things that alter people's conscious-states. "Living Dead" illustrates the way people live their lives even if they don't remember it while fighting their heavy addiction problems.

The entire album is an open diary about someone who has suffered through addictions, and overcome them to come out stronger on the other side. This is combined with angry, dark vocals from Dido who expresses the feelings of someone who has wasted much of their life in an altered state of being. Dido demands that he wants this life he has lost back through his music, and that now he is getting that life back. It's better than anyone ever imagined. The musical component is played at a breakneck pace for most of the album, making the album even more crushing than it was before with just the lyrical content.

CORECOM do a great job of shaping their aggressive, angry sound through the concept of how much better life is without addictions to bring people down. Dido's passionate, aggressive vocals about the anger over the years of life lost, and the breakneck pace of the music combine to make an angry, aggressive release that sends the vital message to today's youth about leaving the drugs behind, because in the end it's not worth it. It could not be stated better.
