It Dies Today's third album was started sometime in 07, completed at some point in 08 and has been sitting ready for the most part of 09. Why? We might never know, but in that short time frame the words of metal and hardcore have changed substantially and the band's profile has only suffered by taking so long to produce a follow-up to second album 'Sirens'. This observation does no condemn the album, far from it. If 'Lividity' is played at an obnoxiously loud volume it sounds absolutely incredible. Trust us, give it a go.

It Dies Today are a hardcore band with brains and brawn. Their debut album "Caitiff Choir" was littered with lyrical interpretations of Dante's Divine Comedy and was a therapeutic rollercoaster through the human psyche. Their tours with the likes of Machine Head, Throwdown, Still Remains and All That Remains refined their sound and allowed them to streamline their buffeting noise with grace and sincerity. While there is little to differentiate their clamour from others like All That Remains, As I Lay Dying and Bless The Fall, there is much to laud and on the whole "Lividity" peeks a weighty punch to complete with the best hardcore records around. The album's blistering, bombastic approach is apparent from the word go, it's sole intention to rupture the fissure before the soothing suture stitches you back up. The nihilistic overture of "Lividity" is brutal and songs like "Reckless Abandon", "Bleed Out In Black And White" and "Martyr of Truth" are slabs of contemporary metal with an old school twist. There are the obligatory smooth vocals interplayed between yelping screams, but the transition is a lot smoother than many other bands. The album is a merciless car crash, followed by a shot of morphine on the way to hospital. The technicalities of the album do dwell in the trademark style, but the bottom heavy downtuned leviathan still has a lit to offer the discerning listener, and never brushes the lethargic. The standout track "Come Undone" closes the album in impeccable fashion and points the band in a different but no less powerful direction. Tense and tortured, vocalist Jason Woods' anguished words are the catalyst on their most precise number. Most of the time It Dies Today are content to drown in their own sound, only surfacing for air to clean the song with unpolluted melodies, and rarely have a band done it better.

It Dies Today has been melting faces since 2001 and you can take it from me, they won’t be stopping anytime soon. In their new album Lividity, new vocalist Jason Woods gets a chance to flex the golden pipes, and he really runs with it. Throughout this record, Chris and Mike’s non-stop, unforgiving guitar riffs will rip you to pieces, leaving you to find solitude only in Jason’s big, melodic choruses. The album opens with “This Ghost.” This song showcases rapid fire drum kicks mixed with raging guitar riffs that will surely give you a nosebleed, while the big, melodic chorus offers a pleasant momentary escape in ecstasy. As the album drives on, I promise you’ll get no relief as you’re hit with one face breaking riff and ear splitting vocal line after another. This, my friends, is not a problem for me…but your grandma’s going to be banging on your ceiling — you can bet your ass on that! “Miss October” is a great song for you metal heads out there. The guitar solo towards the end is very well done. And as you work yourself through the album, you will see that not much changes. The songs stay just as good, but, unfortunately, they do start to bleed together. I don’t foresee this being a problem for all of you IDT fans or metal heads out there. And newcomers — hold tight, because I promise it will get better. The relief comes in the songs “Martyr of Truth,” which is an exceptionally melodic and well put together song that is sure to get your head bouncing, and “Nihility,” where the heavy, walking guitars and huge choruses make this song a don’t miss. The whole album is good, but I must say my favorite song on this record is the last one. In “Compliance Without Pursuit,” the vocal fusion of blood curdling screams and Jason’s melodic singing, accompanied with a musical score that will make you want to adopt a kitten, just to have something to punch in the face. This is sure to make this track one of your favorites as well. Just make sure you stick around, because this eight minute song ends with a little tune that sounds as though it was lifted straight out of a pub in Glascow, which is actually quite entertaining. A little tip: pick up a bottle of Jameson and just sing along. If you can get your hands on the song “Come Undone,” make sure to check it out. I’m not sure if it will be on the album or only in special editions, but it is easily one of the best covers I’ve heard in a while. “Come Undone” starts off just as strong as you would hope with a great guitar riff and lightning fast drums that make you wonder if they are man or machine. Whether or not you want to admit it, we all know the original, and you can bet you’ll be singing along with the rest of us. Overall, I have been listening to a ton of music lately and it seems a lot of bands are putting stuff out that is just mediocre. In contrast, It Dies Today has really stepped it up. At least give Lividity a listen (because it definitely deserves that), and formulate your own opinion. Jason Woods fits in perfectly; and, with his help, IDT has made another great record.

Ahhh, the sweet sound of metalcore. An overpopulated genre indeed, but those who play metalcore right tend to stick above and beyond the many followers in their pack. Metalcore vets IT DIES TODAY know how to play the game right, and are making an explosive entrance back into the scene with Lividity. These guys have already made their mark as one of the strong in metalcore, and it’s great to see/hear them back at full force. Even with new vocalist Jason Wood, their hooks and choruses are still catchy as ever, and the band still knows how to throw it down hard. IT DIES TODAY has taken their stylistic and well rounded sound, and continues to get stronger and stronger. IT DIES TODAY begins to heat things up at a fast pace with their album opener, “This Ghost”. With guitars galloping all over the track, the band sure let’s the listener’s know they are back with something to say. And while “This Ghost” gets things going, Lividity has plenty more tricks up its sleeve. Once IT DIES TODAY unleashes “Reckless Abandon”, get ready, because you’ve got a hit single coming! It’s soooo catchy, and the chorus is bound to get a crowd singing along. Hell, I find myself singing along to “Reckless Abandon” at the most random times – it’s just that catchy and addictive. Anyways, the verses stomp serious ground with great double bass drum accents and great melodic guitar riffs, and the transitions are monstrous. The song structure on “Reckless Abandon” is perfect, and in the outro IT DIES TODAY goes out with a bang, making sure their mark is made. “The Architects” is another big bruiser that unleashes so much power, excitement, and a command that very few can pull off in metalcore. The tempo is fast, plus the band enters into a much more complex atmosphere than they have before. “The Architects” has mosh glory written all over it. Put this one on repeat, immediately! Moving into “Complacence Without Pursuit (Lividity), the song may find IT DIES TODAY at their catchiest. The chorus opens your eyes, pulls your heart’s strings, and brings this warmth that just makes you feel good. The melodies are incredible, and as moving a song “Complacence Without Pursuit (Lividity)” is, IT DIES TODAY ultimately shows how accessible they can be to the hardcore, metal, rock, and emo crowds. Everyone can love IT DIES TODAY! The band has always had this mass appeal, and is still amongst the leaders in the scene. On a commercial aspect, they’ve sold over 150,000 in combined CD sales. On a musical aspect, they keep getting heavier, and also are finding new ways to get the job done. It’s hard to pick a favorite song because each chorus gets me singing along, each brutal moment gets my head banging, and how perfectly each song structure presents itself makes Lividity a memorable listen from start to finish. Lividity is one of the best albums of 2009, hands down.

When it comes to originality It Dies Today has never been a band with such things are often associated. In truth, the New Yorkers' 2004 Caitiff Choir debut and its subsequent follow-up, Sirens, were little more than bog-standard takes on a safe and tiresome metalcore formula. So it's somewhat surprising tat Lividity sees them branching out a little farther than they have done previously. It's vaguely familiar stuff, each song possessing crunching breakdowns and melodic choruses galore, but there's an added aggression to the music and an essence of genuine thought and deviation from the standard issue metalcore instruction manual from which so many other bands take their pointers, that may just mark a turning point that saves them from obscurity.

It Dies Today - if that doesn’t catch your attention, I don’t know what will. This metalcore Buffalo band formed in September 2001. During their short but impressive career, they've released 3 studio albums: The Caitiff Choir in 2004, Sirens in 2006 and now Lividity, which hit stores in June of 2009. A few of their tracks have been part of some compilations, such as the Masters Of Horror Soundtrack in 2005, Headbanger's Ball: The Revenge in 2006, and the Resident Evil: Extinction Soundtrack in 2007. Lividity opens up with “This Ghost.” It begins with a blaze and never lets up. The drums are insanely fast and it’s hard to imagine that someone could play that fast. The guitars rage right along with the angry, screaming vocals. It also has an odd yet fantastic surprise when the vocals lighten up. It really makes the track stand out. “Thank You For Drinking” is a metal-head’s dream. It has serious mosh-pitting written all over it. “Miss October” is much of the same with tweaks on the guitars. Towards the end of the track, It Dies Today do change it up a bit with an incredible guitar solo. “Bled Out In Black And White” doesn’t open as intense as the others do, but when they do kick it into gear, the vocals scream with hatred and a more sinister tone. “Martyr Of Truth” has some killer melodies that soar to new heights. This track really doesn’t even need lyrics to it; the music itself is all you will need. “Nihility” and “Life Of Uncertainty” blend in with the rest of the album as “The Architects” offers a pissed-off vocal set that is really hard to hear. They end the album with “Complacence Without Pursuit (Lividity),” an 8-minute epic adventure that opens with a huge guitar and even bigger drums. It really sets you up for what is about to happen. The combination of vocal styles and guitars definitely make this a top track on the album. Music lovers that aren’t into the screaming can still jam to this track right along with the ones who are. This is easily the best moment of the album. Overall, this is a pretty fair album. It opens up with a blast of sound and continues the rampage the entire way through. If they solely had screaming vocals, the album would have gotten boring quickly, but they two styles of singing keep the listener on his toes. It Dies today did a great job, and the music is simply amazing.

Despite the new singer Jason Woods, It Dies Today still sounds as tight as ever, as if this group who formed originally in 2001. Their hybrid brand of metalcore, screamo, and hardcore remains solid despite the over-arching clichés that blot the genre. After all, how many bands that brush their hair back the wrong way would still have the balls to cover Duran Duran’s classic “Come Undone” and actually make it sound pretty damn good. Mike Hatalak not only plays in the band but recorded and engineered “Lividity” and churned out a damn fine sound. While It Dies Today may not be a band that writes memorable or awe-inspiring classics, they do write energetic classic metallic-edged tunes. And hell that’s worth something these days.

Metalcore is a dying genre sadly and it takes more than talent to stand out in the flood of metalcore bands, It Dies Today do just that. Formed in 2001, this band seems to be taking all the right steps to cement their name into the metalcore genre. Nick Brooks the old vocalist of It Dies Today who appeared on their past albums The Caitiff Choir(2004) and Sirens(2006) is absent on Lividity and is replaced by Jason Wood. Jason Wood exceeds any expectations I had of his ability to match what Nick brought to the table. He is a better screamer, and definitely a much needed change to the It Dies Today line-up. Fans of It Dies Today made it known when Sirens was released that they wanted something heavy like The Caitiff Choir and It Dies Today have done just that on Lividity, exceeding all fan expectations I’m sure. Lividity consists of 10 tracks displaying sheer and complete brutality, the kind of brutality that makes you want to throw your furniture out your living room window, not caring for any pedestrians that might be passing by. Track 1: This Ghost – Starting off with a brutal-as-fuck guitar riff and perfectly timed drums, this song then proceeds to take it up a notch and get heavier. With enough cymbals and fast tempo’d drop C guitar riffs to make even the most die-hard metalcore fan throw himself around a moshpit, this track is definitely a good way to start off an album. Track 2: Reckless Abandon – Starting out with a catchy and consistent guitar riff that makes you want to move, then proceeding to turn into a track with a two-step feel too it once Jason starts screaming. This is personally one of my favourite tracks on Lividity and in my opinion I would have made this track number one. This track really shows off Jason’s ability to scream, sing and deliver a brutal experience. Track 3: Thank You For Drinking – This is the first track I heard from Lividity before I got my hands on the album and it impressed me right away. It has a very head banging feel too it, all whilst sticking to the typical traits of a metalcore track. If you like lots of drop C opens, cymbals, double kicks and of course breakdowns, this track will probably be one of your favourites on Lividity. The breakdown is amazing, Jason screams repeatedly “We’ll see you in hell!” whilst the drums and guitar play in perfect time with each other. Track 4: Miss October – I love this songs melodic starting feel. Although once the song gets into full swing you realise that it is just as fast as the previous tracks were, with a twist. This song really displays a substantial use of brutality and melodics, and definitely a solid track. The song has an almost perfect interlude/solo which starts around the 2:30 mark of the song and sounds beautiful in a metal sort of way. Track 5: Bled Out In Black And White – This track is slower than the previous four tracks before it, but definitely not any less brutal. This song has a nice two-step feel to it, and although I personally think the choruses and verses are lacking in someway, the amazing breakdown really makes me like this song. Although I’m a huge fan of well delivered and solid breakdowns and this song delivers, I personally think it could have been better. Track 6: Martyr of Truth – This track feels like it doesn’t belong on Lividity, and I’m not entirely sure why. Could it be because it’s slow? Because it’s not as brutal? I don’t know why this track is number six, it feels like it should be the ending track of Lividity, but it’s not that bad. I might not have given this track enough listens to give a proper review of it, but I still feel like it doesn’t belong or should be track ten. Track 7: Nihility – In this track I sense a little bit of Sirens album influence coming through, but at the same time, being a completely new experience on it’s own. Showcasing the new found brutality It Dies Today seemed to have harnessed, this is one of the most solid tracks on Lividity. It’s perfect mix of screams and clean vocals makes this a metalcore classic. You can’t have a metalcore classic track without a breakdown, and Nihility has one of the most brutal It Dies Today breakdowns in it. Track 8: Life Of Uncertainty – Starting off in true It Dies Today fashion, this track begins with well timed, fast and brutal guitar riffs with face-smashing drums. The chorus in this track much like track seven seems to be inspired by their previous album Sirens released in 2006. I was a huge fan of Sirens and this track takes me back. The ending of this track is fucking awesome, I love how it slows down then kicks you in the throat with a brutal breakdown. Track 9: The Architects – Whoa, man. If I were to pick a favourite track off Lividity this would be it. It’s so fast, and brutal that it’s hard not to put this track on repeat. Definitely the fastest track on Lividity, and is completely unexpected. Just when you thought Lividity couldn’t get any heavier, brutal or faster, track 9 grabs you by surprise. This track sounds amazing when you blast it through a decent car stereo, I’m not kidding. Listen to the ending breakdown and really crank it to maximum volume, be careful your speakers don’t blow from the awesome this track contains. Track 10: Complacence Without Pursuit (Lividity) – I take back what I said about Martyr of Truth (sorta) being the end track. This track is a perfect way to end an album. It showcases all elements displayed throughout Lividity from track 1 through to track 9; the brutality, melodics, clean vocals, fast guitar, awesome breakdowns and heavy drums. This track has someone with a Scottish accent yelling profanities while bagpipes play then an accoustic guitar comes in whilst a group of Scottish people chant “thank you for drinking with me”. Pretty damn hilarious when you first listen to it, or play it in your car while people in other cars wonder what the fuck you’re listening too. After three listens I’ve come to the conclusion this album is hard to stop listening to. It’s an amazing release and it wouldn’t be too far fetched to proclaim that this is one of the best metalcore albums of 2009 so far. I cannot wait to hear what these guys come out with next, maybe a live album.

Nicholas Brooks who? When Brooks left It Dies Today in 2007 the metalcore scene was shocked. How could this band, with two strong releases (sale wise), go on with a new vocalist? Simple, add in Jason Wood and watch the talent within the band go through the roof! Jason Wood is what It Dies Today needed to be more than just that metalcore act. To me I always enjoyed one or two tracks on each It Dies Today record. Now with the new vocal style I am enjoyed an entire It Dies Today album. Instead of a small amount of growl vocals and a whole lot of “I just hit puberty” vocals, Wood is belting out some real strong and harsh sounding growls with the right amount of clean vocals. Ladies and gentlemen a metalcore band has stepped outside of the box! There are plenty of metalcore acts that do the same formula but not too many of them have the vocals like Wood. On top of that the whole band seems to be stepping it up more. Chris Cappelli and Mike Hatalak, the guitarists, are playing memorable riffs and chords this time around. Their music actually fit the songs now and it is a lot heavier than the usual crap we hear in metalcore music. To make matters much better you have Nick Mirusso stepping up on the drums. Instead of pounding on the double bass pedal he is actually doing some…well he is playing music that isn’t all about being core. I don’t know how else to put it really. The band has just gotten so much better. Even the sound of the bass playing from Steve Lemke is a nice treat because he has stepping out of his shell and picked up the role real nicely. Final Verdict New vocalists in any band have a chance of being the cancer that destroys everything. In It Dies Today’s case it has helped the band in so many ways. Lividity is a jewel amongst all the core albums that have been released this year. If you still have a thing for metalcore then pick this album up.

I remember when It Dies Today hit the scene like a house of fire with their Forever Scorned EP (originally released by Life Sentence Records) in 2002. Fronted by the relentless and intelligent vocals of Nick Brooks, there seemed to be nothing that this Buffalo, NY beat down metal band couldn’t do. Shortly after, the band signed with Trustkill and released two solid albums with The Caitiff Choir and Sirens. Though Sirens was the last album with Brooks on Vocals and left the band to reinvent themselves with a new front man. For Lividity, the band picked up singer Jared Wood, formerly of The Orphan. They met Wood while he was filling in on bass for Still Remains. Musically, It Dies Today has stayed pretty true to form, mashing together bitter and punishing metal with the well developed melodic lines of Chris Cappelli and Mike Hatalak. However, vocally, Wood had very large shoes to fill. Brooks had a vocal style that wasn’t easily forgotten. I can’t say that he did so 100%, but he’s not bad at all (a little help in the annunciation department, lyrical development and bringing his vocals up just a little bit in the register would go a long way for him). Wood’s lyrics leave a lot to be desired, but if you’re measuring based on guttural growls, this guy is practically a grizzly bear. Opening up with the devastating track “This Ghost”, It Dies Today spits in the face of those who would claim that they’ve lost their edge after the release of the more melodic Sirens album was released. As the album progresses, each track follows suit; “Reckless Abandon” provides thick grooves and metal mastery before hitting the chugga / double bass intro to “Thank You For Drinking”. This track has some solid downtuned breakdowns for those who need their music to be heavy and violent. This brings us to our final question, is Lividity a good album? Is it worth buying? The record really offers nothing new to the long time listener of metalcore, drawing strong comparisons to the last two albums from Remembering Never as well as paying homage to bands like God Forbid and Killswitch Engage. However, this doesn’t make it a bad album. It’s a fun listen and if you don’t need every album to be 100% original (lets’s face it, what really is anymore?) then it’s worth a good listen through. Headbang and mosh to your heart’s content.

It’s apparent that It Dies Today are familiar with the scene. Formed in 2001, while most of the guys were around 16 years old, it only took the band two records to get in with bands like Between the Buried and Me, and Alexisonfire. Calling Buffalo, New York their hometown, these kids took a different route then the other bands from their area. Instead of hardcore, they went metalcore. And melodic metalcore at that. On their newest record, “Lividity”, these guys don’t do anything new, but they do it right. They take no time bringing you in. The opening track “This Ghost” is straight in your face. It’s a real good opener, but the shining comes when the second track starts. “Reckless Abandon” is my favorite on the record. It highlights everything that shines on the album, as one track. It’s heavy, it’s melodic, and it’s clean, all in one four minute track. One of the most notable things on the album is the use of heavy introductions. Each song comes very hard from the beginning, and tends to calm down around the first verse, if not the chorus. Another thing done well on the album is the use of slides. Some of the heaviest riffs are calmed down by a clean slide. It plays nicely into the melodic part of the metalcore sound. I know that many die-hard It Dies Today fans will be hesitant at first to pick up this record, being that it’s the first to feature Jason Wood on vocals after the departure of founding member Nicholas Brooks. But you have nothing to worry about. Just as with Memphis May Fire’s vocalist situation, Jason Wood comes into this record with the pre-tense that he’s got big shoes to fill. And not only does he fill those shoes, he makes them his own. He doesn’t have a lot of range, but he has passion. The rest of the album follows the same guide-lines as the previous tracks, not shining a lot more than the last. One of the best parts of the CD is at the very end. The seven minute and thirty-five second final track “Come Undone” is roughly half actual song, half Irish acoustic folk, where the band sings “Thank you for drinking with me, thank you for thinking it’s free!” Overall, I think this CD is definitely worth picking up. It’s heavy, it’s melodic, and it’s funny (well, for three and a half minutes in the last track). “Lividity” appeals to both regular old metal heads, and the new age kids, who like a little singing in their breakdowns. I see no problem with It Dies Today being around for a while.

It’s been years in the making and now, finally, It Dies Today’s new album, Lividity, is seeing its release to the world. Welcoming their new vision and their front man, the band waste no time in crafting the heavy and melodic metalcore gems that appear on Lividity. Breaking loose with the opener, “This Ghost,” the entire song is constructed around heavy riffs and roaring vocals from Jason Woods. There is clear use of the bands trademarked crushing, overpowering pummeling of riffs and drums from their earlier days of The Caitiff Choir mixed with the melodic sensibilities of their still hated sophomore effort, Sirens (For the record, I enjoyed Sirens). Tracks like “Thank You For Drinking” and “Nihility” are sure to please the band’s early fans with the destructive nature of the song. While the melodic, “Miss October,” delivers repeated blows to your chest with only slight moments to breathe as Woods takes only a moment to deliver the news with his crisp clean vocals. Generic, bland and “typical metalcore” may be words that many use to describe It Dies Today, but they are all words that the band have pushed aside when it came time to writing their third album. Despite the lack of a huge creative step, Lividity is in your face brutal all the way through its striking eleven tracks. Each track hits you like a battering ram, opening a large gash in your head to allow for more of the 44 minutes of Lividity to sneak right in. It Dies Today has done more than cement themselves in the metalcore and genre and their career with Lividity. The band has crafted an album that has turned the stale genre into something interesting again. Recommended If You Like: Haste The Day, Still Remains, All That Remains

Bands like It Dies Today and As I Lay Dying lead the overly saturated Metalcore market, and I mean that in the nicest way. Simply put, when I think of this genre I think of those two bands. So the real question this time around is how would new lead singer Jason Wood fit in? In 2006 “Sirens” was a mainstay in my running rotation, so from this reviewers perspective, Mr.Wood had a great deal to prove. The redone versions of “Sixth of June” and “Through Leaves and Over Bridges” (both from Sirens) were actually better then the originals- so I was optimistic! Greatness is often imitated, but never duplicated. With “Lividity”, It Dies Today smashes the mold for greatness and crafts their own metal signature! The elements of metalcore still exist within this record, but the band wades into other musical waters to create a progressive record. Wood’s melodic vocals are simply melodic bliss. While at time the guitar work of the opus show off their ability to peel off killer pinch harmonics. Breakdowns are still the norm. Not to worry! “Reckless Abandon” is the signature track of the record. It greets the listener with a riff reminiscent of As I Lay Dying’s “Forsaken”, but that is where the similarity ends. A galloping bridge will stir pits silly, while the chorus is a melodic beauty. It sort of reminds me of something you would hear on a show on the CW, and that isn’t a shot at IDT. They perfectly blend meat hook breakdowns and horrifying gunfire with a sing-a-long chorus that your girlfriend might even want to sing along with. The other track that made me take notice is “Martyr Of Truth”. A finger plucking riff kicks the track off. The track broods for the first minutes till it bubbles over with a release of emotion and riffage. Jason Wood vomits with the vigor of an exorcism. What I liked is this song isn’t for kids with ADD, the track breathes with some melodic interludes, while the guitars sort of transition the song parts and weave them together perfectly. Listen to the track for what it is and give Jason the props he is due! Changing singers is always a risky proposition. I had a conversation the other day about lead singers. The result- when a lead singer leaves a band, it is a different band! What would Pantera have been without Phil Anselmo? But in the case of It Dies Today, the journey has been worth it for them. Jason Wood makes “Lividity” an interesting, relevant and progressive listen. Fans of IDT can’t ask for anything more than that!

Before this album, I’ll be completely honest, I’d never really liked or bothered to give It Dies Today the time of day (no pun intended.) The band had been featured in Alternative Press, Metal Edge and even on MTV2. The band “wasn’t my cup of tea” I told Dana Gordon over at Trust Kill one day, being extra pretentious and full of myself. Completely disregarding my asinine statement Dana sent over the new It Dies Today anyway. Reluctantly I threw it in my laptop and sipped some coffee. I have to say after the second listen to the 11 track album, I became a bit of a fan. I’m still not thrilled with some of the melodic vocas, as I prefer my hardcore/metal straight and to the point. But, after the third listen, I actually started to understand why people liked that style. When asked about the album singer Jason Wood commented; “”We’re really pumped about this new record! Lividity is a medical term (as I am a huge fan of CSI) that means when you die all your blood in your body settles, so where you’re lying is a bruise covering that part of your body. Metaphorically for example someone who’s life is very stagnant or unmotivated.” The biggest surprise was that it wasn’t a stagnant or unmotivated album. The last track Come Undone which is a Duran Duran cover that I didn’t even recognize as such till I heard the original, then IDT’s verision again which is always pretty fun. This Ghost, Reckless Abandon, and Martyr of Truth were all tops on my list with blistering drums and a really well rounded sound all together. The breakdowns made my heart thump a bit harder, and forget that they’ve toured with Machine Head and Papa Roach (please forgive It Dies Today, they know not what they do.) I definitely suggest grabbing this album which drops September 8th, 2009 on Trustkill. The guys are on tour with Arsonists Get All The Girls and Awaken Demons this September/October. My only beef with this is the fact none of them will be remotely close to Florida. Hear that guys!? We’d like some hardcore too please!
