Please don't think these guys are brand new or copycats. They're not just jumping on some tech metal bandwagon. These guys have been playing hard for quite a while. It's nice to see their album in print. The word "splitting" comes to mind. The album is very fast with lots of break-ups, cyclical guitar riffs. Strong on every position (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) and very heavy in each as well. Mindrage is in the same genre as Embodyment, Selfmindead, but less hardcore sounding and more straight up growl metal. They don't let up much. Front to back it's pounding. The song "Passover" has one of the best guitar lead-ins on it. Most of the songs have good ones, but this one sounds incredible when loud. On this song and the rest of the album, the lyrics are packed with heavy stuff. Not your average way to write, but cooler in getting you to dig deeper and think. The guitars make this album. The tones change a good deal, keeping it fresh and unique. It's so fast and nicely technical without being a puzzle. Vocals and guitars go well together, with the drums putting down a rapid rate. It's so good to have these guys pushing forward. I hope good things for them.
