		A hot cross bun is a type of sweet spiced bun made with currants and leavened with yeast.
		It has a cross on the top which might be made in a variety of ways: it could be pastry, made from a simple flour and water mixture, cut from rice paper and glazed onto the bun, or simply cut into the bun itself.
		In many historically Christian countries, the buns are traditionally eaten on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of Christ.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Hot Cross: Cryonics
		After amassing a sizeable fan base on the strength of two EPs, proficiently brutal quintet Hot Cross were either going to become new scene gods or sink into oblivion, depending upon the strength of their debut long-player.
		Unlike most bands of their ilk, Hot Cross require as much though as they do pure adrenaline; the dexterous rhythms of "In Memory of Morvern" are more free-jazz than staccato grind, and the cathartic "Pretty Picture of a Broken Face" is the point where hate and love meet in one final bloody showdown.
		Minor quibbles aside, Hot Cross's overheated brand of dynamic hardcore gives hope to those who thought the screamo/moshcore scene was headed down the drain.

		Once "the kids" more outwardly turned into jocks and suburban squares (the shit was, for a time, latent in their souls), it got much cooler to call hardcore something else: post this or that, new metal, jagged whatever.
		More importantly to the thesis, though, Hot Cross aren't post-metal or pre-primitive this or blah blah that or whatever the fuck; they're basically what true-blue hardcore sounds like after having interestingly evolved.
