Remain Sedate

Remain Sedate is the debut album by Rorschach.

The first ever release to be labelled metalcore, it shows the band's sound at a stage when they played fast, heavy hardcore with a metal slant and raspy hardcore vocals.

At this time they also drew heavy comparisons to Die Kreuzen for their bizarre chord progressions and Charles Maggio's unearthly howl.

[1] The first song of the album, "Pavlov's Dogs" is depicted in the 2012 film Zero Dark Thirty as being used to torture suspected terrorists.

[3] Kansas City metallic hardcore band Remain Sedate is named after the album.
