Anyone whose ears are still ringing from Serotonin’s reunion show in July at The Cobra will tell you that, following their first live performance in more than 20 years, the heavy, mathy trio is back. The group’s initial run was from 1995 to 2002 and took them to basements and stages along the East Coast with acts like From Ashes Rise, Piebald, Reversal of Man and Converge. They injected elements of prog rock into a hardcore scene where such ideas are often shunned, and were survived by three unique, pummeling albums that nevertheless didn’t quite capture their unbridled live energy. Even better, the Cobra gig was not a one-off but the prelude to more shows and recordings.
