Five figures come from Seattle, bringing the Emo Powercore to life with fresh
emotions. They all wear eyeliner and have pitch-black hair styled in a side parting
that goes down to their jawline. According to the information, this is all about big hooks and super cool
detail-oriented guitar work, and it’s not just a whiny affair like
most emo bands tend to endure! I really like the vocals, as they are very melodic and are also used powerfully here and there, which fits perfectly with the guitar shredding. The production is
cleanly mixed, and anyone who knows producer Steve Carter (HIMSA, CRADLE
OF FILTH, AIDEN) knows that this is a very polished piece of work. Occasionally, I hear a bit of RAISED FIST in there, but if I have to make a comparison, which doesn’t always hit the tone perfectly - I still see AIDEN as a favorite and this record as a well-intentioned imitation of the aforementioned bands that have brought much better stuff to light. Despite everything, the album with its 11 tracks and boringly designed CD inlay goes down well and occasionally hits hard. Lyrically, it’s very personal, and here and there it shows how messed up the world is in frontman Geoffrey's eyes. He is supported in the backing vocals by two other members who do their job damn well! The good voice of frontman Geoffrey clearly stands out here, just like the guitar parts. This album will probably find a place in my player again!
