Stigmata celebrate their 20 years anniversary with re-releasing two of their legendary albums. 'Hymns For An Unknown God' from 1994 and 'Do Unto Others' from 1998. The first album is musically a kind of Pantera like stuff; rather heavy and weighty guitar riffs. The bands lyrics have always been very anti-religious, as you might have expected with their bandname.
The second album is more hardcore/punk, more NYHC. The songs are faster and lighter than the songs on 'Hymns'. Fast guitars, rapid drums, hardcore vocals and still no guitarsolos. It's a matter of taste which of the 2 you like most. Personally I think that most of the people like the second album more than the first.
Real fans already own both records of course, but if you don't, this is the chance to get both in one buy. If you don't know the band yet (shame on you), but like music in the style bands like Hatebreed, Sick of It All, Earth Crisis and Madball play, you will probably like this one too.
