Cost: $1.00
Metallic hardcore. Initially the band name and album title set off my inner metal detector, but I was very disappointed when I saw this was on Eulogy, since that was a clear indicator of -core of some kind. I sampled a few short soundclips of the album online, which all seemed to be raging HC, which I figured was enough to buy it as trade fodder even if it didn't end up being a keeper.
A sizeable chunk of the album is similar to what I heard. They get compared to Integrity a lot, which only seems accurate in an extremely vague sense, or if you're pointing to a root Slayer influence in a few riffs. However, it's not all fast stuff, and when the band slows down, they often shed the HC and veer right into doom/death sounding territory--the intro of the title track wouldn't sound out of place on the first Paradise Lost album. Sadly, the vocals don't follow suit.
