    Bloody Sunday is on Facedown Records. So if you put that together with their band name you can probably guess that they are really brutal Christian metal/hardcore. It's not really rocket science. I really hate reviewing a record that had the potential of being really good but the band shot themselves in the foot with the recording quality, mainly the vocals. It all sounds like I'm listening to this album with ear muff on. It's really all been heard before but I don't think I've ever really heard it this bad before. I know, from my own experience, that Facedown really isn't known for their high quality releases but it's 2005 now and I though it would have progressed a little by now. The album, as a whole, really isn't all that bad but it just gives me a headache to listen to and that just annoys me.

Not to be confused with any songs previously sung by U2 (or any that were covered by Evergreen Terrace), Bloody Sunday breaks out onto the hardcore/metal scene again, this time with their second full length, To Sentence the Dead.
