Rorschach - Autopsy



Rorschach are a notorius hardcore band from Jersey in the early 90's. Definitely one of the most unique and asskicking hardcore bands from the time, and even since. Some grueling blend of Black Flag, and the Melvins, with a nice dose of crusty chaos thrown in. Their sound is tough and creative enough to give you a sucker punch every few moments, fast enough to still be hardcore punk, and dark and evil enough to sound like these guys could walk right over. I never saw Rorschach, and I regret missing it. But we can still listen to them and get our asses kicked, thanks to Maize.

The only band that came off as tough as this was Integrity and the only band who sounded as raw as this Groundwork. But Rorschach stood on their own ground and were unrivaled until their end and subsequent forming of other inventive and progressive thinking hardcore bands such as Die 116, Deadguy and Kiss it Goodbye
