I should point out that Rise of Agartha is by no means an inherently terrible metalcore album. The 2008 studio album courtesy of The Hollow Earth Theory is decent from an instrumental standpoint and the same thing can be said in regards to the vocals employed by Nathan James Biggs, who later became the vocalist for Sonic Syndicate. Unfortunately, the record's major flaw is that it's too derivative of this band's contemporaries, sometimes hilariously so. Broadly speaking, a passable vocal performance and fine musicianship can't make up for Rise of Agartha's bland, unoriginal nature, and when one combines that with unexciting songwriting chops, you get an unremarkable, commonplace LP at the end of the day. On the other side of the spectrum, it's still better than what Nathan's current outfit can muster up post-Only Inhuman, although this isn't saying too much.
