What I’ve heard of these guys makes me want to hear more. Sick, brutal band. I like.

In my own personal opinion, people who make idiotic comments like the one above shouldn’t be allowed to breed or use the internet. But that’s just me…

…and no, I’m not a “defensive” deathcore fan either. I really don’t care for 99.9% of it.

In my own personal opinion, people who create, promote, or are fans of deathcore should all go play jump rope in the middle of a busy interstate. But that’s just me…

You dudes are crazy, I think the newest “These Balls will Be Scratched” and “It took Two Flushes” are much better especially if you are looking for some brutal breakdowns, because in all honesty it’s all about the breakdowns… Haha

swampthang, it shined through a bit in the songs, but it not showed as much as I hear in the new songs. Although it’s also a matter of taste.

my deathcore fix for the summer, after the rather underwhelming with dead hands rising album. great review!

Listened to the new asp songs, and I applaud the new approach, yes, this includes the clean vocals. Some good intense songwriting and finally gone with the ‘look at us, we are brutal’ attitude, which everybody seems to be needing so desperatly. Finally they are showing their talent.

4 in the chamber lol thats wigger metal, ya but Years Spent Cold def have the nastiest breakdowns Ive heard in awhile they let those suckas ring. American Me’s breaks are just ridiculously violent. Though Carnifex i dunno if you ever seen those lads live but they beat out most of the competition in the deathcore sets PURE CARNAGE ALL I GOTTA SAY!!!

That breakdown/phantom bounce thing at the end of the video is heee-larious.

I personally put Whitechapel and Carnifex on the same level-Years Spent Cold wernet even close after i gave em a listen.

Yes I listened to both new songs and initially thought Never Again sucked, but I listened to it more times and found myself enjoying more and more. And they had clean vocals on The Last Relapse on The Price of Existence.

Great review as always.

I like American Me and Years Spent Cold but they can’t touch the intensity or songwriting of Whitechapel. 4 in the Chamber don’t even belong in this conversation.

PizzaClause, have you listened to the new ASP tracks online? Never Again is one long breakdown and their clean vocal debut on the title track is pretty underwhelming. The Price of Existence was brutal, this new one is shaping up to be a little kick in the shin.

So… I just listened to this and it was pretty good for what it is. Thank you Mr. Thomas for yet another great review. And the new All Shall Perish is going to be awesome.

American Me is def not in the same category as Whitechapel. I’d check out 4 in the Chamber’s new one for some moshtastic goodness.

Erik Thomas — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:59:56 +0000

I need to check Years Spent Cold, American Me out then

By: swampthang

swampthang — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:38:15 +0000

eh its okay much better releases this year in the deathcore/mosh department by Carnifex, Years Spent Cold, American Me etc………!

By: Erik Thomas

Erik Thomas — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:35:51 +0000

Yeah there are more solos Red-I mean its not like “HEY THEY HAVE THREE GUITARS” in your face or Human ABstract noodling, but its def. more present

By: Red

Red — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 23:05:38 +0000

One of the main things, if not the only thing, I had a problem with in their debut was the lack of any “real” or extended soloing. You would think with three guitarists that someone could play some kick ass leads.
So, on this new album is there any great lead work or should I stick with the opinion that they don’t need three axeslingers?

just watched the video. I can’t decide if the synchronized body dipping is a joke or not. Either way it’s pretty funny.

Erik Thomas — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:27:24 +0000

yeah ive heard…… things about the new All Shall Perish.

By: Dan

Dan — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:30:17 +0000

Just checked ’em out. Still not my cup of tea, but I like it better than the tracks I’ve heard from the new All Shall Perish. I have a sinking feeling it’s going to be very disappointing.
