Puritan was a metalcore band from State College, Pennsylvania. Where do I even start with this band? Puritan was one of the heaviest hardcore bands of the 90s; every song they released was overflowing with pure aggression and blood boiling energy. You could compare them to Prevail, Rinse, Reversal of Man and Order Of Importance but really none of these bands come close to the pure chaos that Puritan created.
Puritan writhed and wailed around some impressive bass lines and some of my favourite drum work in the genre. Theres seriously no other drummer that I have heard that compares to Puritan's drummer; he had a unique style that was cymbal heavy and frantic, it works perfectly in tandem with the rest of their sound.
Puritan really deserves some love and attention, the energy they had is completely unmatched and sure to set your hair on end. There was a tour CD containing Puritan's final recordings that has yet to have been unearthed. Let me know if you have this and can send the files our way!
