The Undying Darkness

When I first heard of metalcore Caliban was one of the first bands I heard. And to be honest I didn't know a metalcore band could have this amount of hatred in a fucking album but hey. They do! Just check the song titles: "I rape myself"; "Song about killing", "I refuse to keep on living", that's more than I expected from metalcore.

Musically speaking, it isn't as hateful as you would think. There are more fast drumming and melodic guitars than harsh vocals, and the singed parts, oh Lord, they are just annoying! Basically this album is made of that: fast drumming, lots of screams, fucking singing birds, and then, breakdowns! And it keeps going like that. I have to admit that I enjoy breakdowns, but only when they are not being abused of, and when they sound different from song to song. But when they decided to put breakdowns every minute it gets boring as heaven (hehehe because hell is fun).

This is one of those albums that you only like three or four songs, but after listening the whole you just get annoyed and you don't even like one song. Isn't that enough? If you try to concentrate and find a good thing after listening the whole you might even start hating metalcore...

The only good thing of it all are lyrics, oh yeah, and the Björk cover its just perfect. No matter what metalcore will always be metalcore...
