I've heard this album reported as melodic metalcore and, it is. But there is something missing from that description; Crazy. This band is insane. While they aren't as off-the-wall as some bands, they are always changing. Whether it be their vocals, their tempo, their melody, they are changing. They manage to keep you on your toes wondering what's next. The music is of course melodic and crazy, but it is also tight and unrefined at the same time. The vocals are very high pitched screams, not like Zao or anything, but more like Anguish Unsaid. With all of that, and their completely spiritual approach to their lyrics, they create a powerful atmosphere.
8.5/10

Dead Zine 2002Reviewed by FletchYES!!!!!! I love this cd. It is so good. Warning: Do not get this cd if you expect it to sound like anything else you've ever heard or if you don't have a mature ear for hardcore. Three months ago I probably wouldn't have liked this too much, certainly a year ago I wouldn't have. However, it is fresh, it is tight and you are doing yourself a disservice by not getting it.
