Band Submission

Preview

This album has quite a few elements thrown into the brutality.  A lot of keys, some singing, some black metal-ish spoken word, gang vocals, string interludes. The guitar and bass work is very nice, creating some nice riffs and leads, and the drums compliment them. What gets at me, though, is the production is really lacking in power. Randomly, the guitars will fall in volume, or you can only hear one. It isn't in-your-face, as this genre should be.  The vocals as well, while Lance has a good range, come across as weak, and could have been mixed better. But this band has something for everyone in the -Core scene. Let's see where they go in the future.
