This band is brutal. It's cool to hear the multi-textures going on. You hear an almost loop- ish thing going on in the background, screaming hardcore shouting, and incessant guitar noises carefully placed. All to a hypnotic pace. The lyrics don't sound evangelistic or spiritual, as much of the anger seems to speak to relationship betrayal and hurt. This is one of those "half the band is Christian, the other half isn't" bands. I need to see these guys live. Fans of Training for Utopia will be used to this kind of musical, cacophonous insanity already (it's not as busy as TFU). The song "Loneliness" is musically just flat-out metal, like the Bloodgood days, albeit with hardcore vocals. For ordering info, write: Pluto Records, PO Box 1201, McKinney TX 75070
