Radiating low, detuned growls that are assured to get your head banging, Disbelief realize a perfect marriage of the styles of Korn and Obituary on '66Sick.' Though some may balk at that type of comparison initially, it should be distinguished that this analogy lies in the fact that it's the best qualities of each group that have been lifted. This album is quite often flat-out, excruciatingly heavy and during other times, the heaviness emanates from the dissonant qualities of the group's music as the quintet so slammingly articulates on tracks such as the brash, electric sandpaper friction of 'For God' or the growling, grinding 'Crawl'. A deep, sludgy power groove fleshes out the thumping 'Floating On High', a track which signifies the aptitude of Disbelief to churn out a blood-soaked metal hit that is deeply memorable. Gigantic walls of guitar compliment deep bass rumblings and throaty yet melodic rasping. Although the production is tremendously tight here, allowing for a consistency throughout the record, the variations in dynamics and multiple metal influences remain audible enough for listeners who feel the need to be challenged. Meanwhile, more passive subjects will simply get lost in the burly, layered tone of tracks such as 'Continue From This Point', (give that initial harmony back to Linkin Park, gentlemen). This song is certainly one of the more commercial of the record. Metal has become an open wound, the mixture of the blood of the sub-genres combining, creating a hybrid which now has a life of its own. Disbelief are as much a part of this new metal life as any other on the scene today.
