Well, this is the trick with new bands.....they don't come up with anything new anymore....so what? Despite the fact that this statement is most of the time true (most metalcore acts suck balls these days) there are also exceptions that cofirm (or not) the rule. This band promises to be one of them...They have some good guitar work and vocals. The drumming is also well paced, but there is something slightly misplaced; something there that just doesn't feel quite right. The vocals are harsh and clean but the hardcore parts sounds a little disoriented at times. All in all the album is pretty decent in comparison with some other stuff I listened that made me wanna throw up. Nothing remarkable about it, but at least they deliver unlike others in this genre who are total flops.
That's it hope you will enjoy this album at least just a bit.
