Abject Pax is a hardcore punk band from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Abject Pax
is their debut EP. They play a brand of hardcore that takes some
influences from the goth rock school of songwriting. The basis for these
songs is hardcore but there is such an atmosphere of theatrical dread
and doom that they take a left turn at some point. The music is all
standard hardcore punk but flourishes like the melodic backing vocals in Mind & Body
create an atmosphere where anything dark might happen. Highly
recommended and a strong contender for EP of the year. Highlights
include Abject Pax, Not Morals, the aforementioned Mind & Body. If you like your hardcore with a little flourish, Abject Pax's Abject Pax will serve well.
