This band is in the news here a lot lately, as the whole band save for Tim Lambesis quit. Who the hell knows what’s going on, but this new album was already in the can and it’s pretty good… as pioneers of NWOAMC or whatever… american metalcore… it’s catchy heavy, melodic and nice crips production. it’s always about the music right? hah

French melodic death band hiring one of the best Melodeath vocalists in Speed from Soilwork… which in my opinion elevates and already good sounding album into really cooool. It does have a similar style to Soilwork with gritty heavy stuff and big melodies too. great stuff!

Their bandcamp page says “a raw and adventurous mix of thrash punk, progressive blackened elements, and a retro-futuristic vibe” and that’s kind of spot on… a bit punky, voivodish vibe punching into some blackened deathy stuff.
