The first half of the newest dual album from the Massachusetts-based band is a heavy dose of what you come to expect from the band. Deathcore and sludge metal with even some bits of grindcore thrown in. However, unlike in the past, the band produces some of the most memorable and harrowing-sounding music. From sludgy and blistering opener to the fast-paced and hair-raising speed of ?CHAIN?. But what really sets this album apart from their past is that it is brief, to the point, and leaves you with a sense of satisfaction when you?re done. Still, the album is nowhere near as powerful or memorable as many of the great deathcore albums are on top of the fact it?s not as funny as many of the over-the-top post-deathcore bands we have seen. Overall, it?s a great little album that would have a hard time standing out, but isolating it leaves a great impression.
