    These two bands (Embodiment and Embodyment) have always caused confusion with the joint use of their name. The "i" version is from Australia and, like their Texas counterparts, they started out as a death metal band. I hadn't heard much from these guys since the "y" version turned the world upside-down last year with its metalcore hyrbrid debut album. These Aussies have now taken a hardcore turn with their sound as well. They're not as fast and all over the place as the "y" version, and their "scream till veins pop in your neck and head" vocals sound more like another Dallas metalcore band - Society's Finest. The wonders of the world never cease. In summary, you have one totally killer package here - from the brutal attack musically to the fine artwork.
