Cost: $1.00
Metalcore. I was fully expecting that based on the band name alone, though I mostly picked this up because of the Sanctuary logo on the back...They're not a label I associate with metalcore at all, so I was hoping there was a slight chance this was more prog. metal type stuff. As is quite common in the genre, both the vocals and the music itself alternate between being extreme and being more accessible/commercial. I do hear a lot of melodic death metal influence in the twin guitars, which kind of puts them in the middle of the road in terms of extremity. There are a lot more commercial-oriented bands in the genre out there, but by the same token, this is nowhere near as palatable for me as the bands who are playing what amounts to little more than midsguided Slaughter of the Soul worship, just with HC vox. Although I don't particularly support the inclusion of bands like this on metal-archives, they were apparently once listed but eventually removed, which I found a little surprising considering some of the metalcore bands that remain listed there. And ultimately, that's the only positive thing I can say about these guys (aside from their HIV test results). There are bands that are far worse.
