Style: Metalcore
Release date: November 3rd 2008
 

Dutch finest metalcore band releases their sixth record and after the intro the band leaves absolutely nothing undamaged. New singer Rob Franssen pukes out his anger and frustration about politics and other issues in his aggressive vocal style. Rob Franssen the bass player? Yes, after Ché Snelting left, the band searched for a replacement in vain. Rob Franssen put his bass guitar down and became the front man. Listening to Rob, it is very strange that they didn't put him in front earlier.

The groovy, heavy riff-oriented songs have a lot of power, sometimes the band reminds me of Slayer, but fans of Hatebreed and Crowbar should also like the flavours of this album. Especially "Endgame" has a Slayer-vibe, the song could have been written by those butchers. In the overcrowded metalcore market this quintet proves that they belong to the survivors

If you metalcore freaks want to buy a record next month, check out this one, it is heavy, aggressive and groovy, what do you want more...?
