I can be short about that. NO IT DOESN’T!!! It helps a bit though, but not enough. For starters there’s still the emo guitar parts, which blend in really bad with the rest of the music. They try to do the “silence before the storm” trick a lot, but unsuccessful.

Second of all, I can’t mention one thing about this album that I haven’t heard before. Now that’s not always a must, but in a genre where so many do the same you usually choose the best bands and take the rest for granted. It’s not like it’s a terrible band, it just lacks something that catches my attention.

 

Now to describe the music, it’s pretty brutal metalcore without melodic vocals, with a big death metal influence, both the brutal and the melodic kind. Add some melodic breaks here and there and you’re dead to fall!

 

If you’re into this style of music and you can communicate with the description of the band I gave in this review, check it out. Seriously, then I know it can be enjoyable. But if you’re looking for something new and original, keep away.
