Pankration



From Kent, OH and active 1999-2003(?). This band is definitely known almost exclusively for their split with The Red Scare, and it's difficult to find much else by them. They started out as a more traditional dark and heavy 90's emo/screamo style band, but with some metal leanings. As time went on, they kind of just became more and more metal until their last release (a split with minus the tide - not included here) is just straight up metal in the vein of Mastodon and such. For viewers of this blog, the Effective Range Of The System Varies 7inch is probably the most emo of their records, and definitely the highlight if that's your thing. Check it out!

  1. Your missing 4 demo songs recorded after "of monkey, of man....". It was a reboot of sorts with a new female singer and the music went in a more drawn out atmospheric direction....

    1. Hmmm, is it more in the metal direction I was mentioning? I kind of skipped out on that stuff. If not I'll have to try and hunt it down.
