Im listening to this album right at this moment and this must be the fourth time Ive played it! The first time I put this on I swear to god that I got Goosebumps! This has to be the most refreshing, original piece of hardcore Ive heard in a while. Musically it resembles what best can be described as sludgy metallic hardcore. You can hear All out War, Earth Crisis, Hatebreed, Eyehategod, Down and even a little Entombed thrown in for good measure. Guitars are extremely fuzzy and distorted creating that sludgy feel. Drums pummel away in a hardcore beat and vocals are roared with death metal intensity. Track three has one of the best HC riffs ever created. This is the first album in a while since Hatebreeds Perseverance to get me genuinely excited. What makes it so good and appealing though is that it has that crossover appeal which all fans of Hardcore, punk and metal will be able to appreciate. Up there with the aforementioned Hatebreed album, Earth Crisis Breed the Killers and All out Wars Born to be crucified, this is one of the most important hardcore albums of recent years. If these guys arent already huge than they deserve to be. Outstanding.
