Exceptional intro (taken from "Bram Stokers Dracula"), that builds up a great atmosphere and drops into a great scream and a simple thrash riff (with good groove and tempo) on the 1st song (second track), "Assassin Of Love". The double breakdown on that song is literally brilliant. But after the second breakdown, the song seems to drag on a bit. All in all, the rest of the music is just basic and weak, pseudo thrash, Metalcore that is saved by the immense vocals. The riffs need to be sped up a lot more and need to be more tightly constructed, with faster and sharper changes. Nice intro on track 4, "Sunday's Words". But once again, this is a band designed for the people who prefer watered down weak Metalcore, that tend to stay away from true Trash. Not a bad cover of Heaven Shall Burn's old song "Partisan" though.
The same can be said for Heaven Shall Burn's contribution, although they are a lot more raw and generally are a bit better. But nothing great at all. The Heaven Shall Burn vocalist's voice is very good (great scream and the odd good low growl), but the terrible drumming and boring song structure spoils it. They need to a few lessons from real musicians and quit to this yawnsome Metalcore malarkey.
My final conclusion, real metalheads should maybe give this one a miss, but a must for those who enjoy Metalcore.
