Cool review, but still doesn’t make me want to check it out.

The heaviest band was and still is Disembodied.

This comes nowhere near it.

This might not be intricate or original, but for sheer heft, its unmatched.

It’s hotter than a mofo here right now… so depending on where you’re coming from it could be good or bad…

I return to Fort Leonard Wood after this deployment, so these mentions of Missouri intrigue me

cool review… enjoyed the album too – heavy, sinister, modern, catchy.. if you’re looking for subtlety, complexity, virtuosity and all of that then look elsewhere..

And I forgot to ask if you’re going to the Slayer/Megadeth/Testament show in 2 weeks in Kansas City?

Cool man get in touch if you are ever in the area. The scene is not great here but the Outland Ballroom is not bad. Saw Whitechapel there about six weeks ago. Do you have my e-mail from the registration? Real name is Kevin btw…

I bought this and while I think it’s still good, they seem to be losing it just a bit. The lyrics have their hit and miss point, but it’s definitely a pissed off listen and nice and heavy. You kinda take it for what it is at this point with these guys.

P.S. Where you at in Missouri? I just moved to Springfield in March.

Good call, Erik.

Airing a bunch of personal shit is probably the only possible way to make this record seem interesting.

Well I commented on this one already elsewhere but as I listen to Wormwood I find I’m still feeling the same way about it.

Why is it that every band that switches up to using 8 string guitars try to sound like Meshuggah?

Yeah some of this sounds similar to what they did on Continent, but there are moments where I can almost hear Meshuggah’s “Nothing” playing in the background.

Also, I am here and now offering my sevices to any and all Deathcore style bands that need lyrics, because I would bet large amounts of someone else’s money that I could construct something that made more sense than “You are the babykillers”, and “I find you F***ing disgusting!”

Came in expecting to dislike it but turns out, it’s actually enjoyable. Especially the songs “Bay of Pigs” and the closure “Tactical Nuke” are addicting.

Hmmm, I have been married for 17 years and we’ve had some ups and downs, remember it always seems like the grass is always greener on the other side and be careful what you wish for, both are cliches but I think they are very true. I say just go with the flow and continue to hit the bottle and crank the metal, haha… its way more cheaper than a therapist and a whole lot more fun!!!!

Never heard of this band, so I need to check them out, thanks for the review.
