SOL/PACK Asian Tour 2005 I witnessed the ear-splitting act of SOL with Luis of Pack here in the Philippines when they make their south-east Asian tour. It was a remarkable show; SOL was fuckin’ wonderful with additional vocals from Luis. You must see them perform live, playing heavy crustcore with a stroke of metal. With their bassist Jae from Decrepit. Great & nice guys to get along with. SOL is from Leipzig, Germany. I really love their song “Dead End”, great lyrics! Consist of 7 songs in their split cd. PACK from Biel, Switzerland playing fast crustcore. Former members of Hellboozer, Bagger, & Victors Hoffnarren. When I listen in to Pack, it was boost up of energy & power. Even though their South-East Asian tour was cancelled I’ve seen Luis screaming along with the set of SOL. He was fuckin’ great. I love their song “Warpath”, great lyrics also like SOL. Consist of 8 great songs in this split cd with raging lyrics. This album was released by Shammir from Malaysia. This cd has an LP released 2004 with great artworks. Everyone must have this!!! They fuckin’ rule!!!
