    Classic Rhode Island hardcore band Verbal Assault's 1987 masterpiece finally re-issued and remastered by Nick Townsend from Townsend Mastering (drummer for Fireburn/ Deadbeat). Originally released in 1987 Verbal Assault bridged the gap between "heavy" hardcore and "smart" hardcore playing extensively with everyone from Agnostic Front to Fugazi. Lyrically "Trial" hit on personal but also socio/political themes while never letting up musically. This is the first time since it's original release 31 years ago its been re-issued.

lyrics

ALIVE 
The answers won't 
Be anywhere but inside 
It's the only truth
I really know for sure 
The only truth they cannot hide 
To live is 
To fight what has come before 
To live is 
To struggle and begin
Again once more 
To live is 
To fight what has made you weak 
To live is 
To never find all of what you seek 
The past is the enemy of now 
To live is to move is 
To grow is to learn 
Anywhere, anyway, anyhow
