I've been listening to these guys for a while now since they've been really big in the Tampa Bay area. They're incredible. I knew what to expect when I heard they were putting out a debut for a major record label. Striaght up in your face metal. I must agree with the guy above me. There is no happy sing along moments for this band. What set's this cd apart from alot of metal cds is to many metal bands are tainted by the hardcore essence to have breakdowns. One of the best aspects about this cd is the guitar work. It's simply amazing. The melody in the fast paced speed they play. I highly recommend any metal fan or hardcore fan to look into these guys more. A few years down the road they're gonna be well known for playing real metal.
