By the Grace of God will forever be my favorite Victory Records band. Unlike like the lionshare of the label's denizens, the Grace specialized in a loud, stomping hardcore, but with songs that absolutely take flight with melodic, passionate vocals and occasional majestic guitar-leads that weave comfortably amongst the thrak of the rhythm section. It is heavy, intense and sheened with a searingly melodic vocal. In other words, precisely the space vintage Grace thrived in.
Punk is alive.
