Brick By Brick exemplifies a working class band. Dredged from the hardcore scene of Troy, NY, Brick By Bricks records were comprised of hardcore spirit and sharp metallic chops. The band showed progression, culminating to a sinister fusion of metal and hardcore on their third album, 2010s, Severed Ties. That record was self-released. After losing their vocalist of over a decade, the planets aligned. Another hard working, DIY metallic hardcore monster, Full Blown Chaos were slowing down. While not defunct, insists vocalist, Ray Mazzola, he and his vocal chords were sitting idle. Having been friends for years, the two entities got together.
