This is a frustrating album, because it sounds so close to really getting good, but never really gets there. The band describe themselves as "Hardcore/Death Metal/Experimental", but most of the time it sounds like typical metalcore to me. On the other hand, they do mix in some atmospheric and melodic parts to diversify their sound. But what really gets me is that quite often they seemed really close to just going all Gorguts on us, but they backed off and went for a more traditional approach instead. Now that would have earned them the "experimental" tag. Anyway, this is quality stuff, if a little typical. The playing is good (though some of the guitar leads are pretty sloppy) and the production is crystal clear and powerful.
Oh, and I have to give these guys credit for releasing this album free on the internet. You can get it from their MySpace page. Download it and if you like it, send them a few bucks.
