4.5 superbJared Floryan | July 24th 16

Befouled supremacy of power over others held in a weaker position is one of the worst kinds of hegemony out there. It's existed for eons and the concept in and of itself still lingers. Experimental hardcore unit Down I Go are from London, England, and they're a band one ought to make a conscious effort to keep tabs on if their third full-length offering is any evidence. Tyrant, as its album title and track names both imply, is an album written around a theme based on historical slave drivers; the folks who regret not a bit abusing the control they have and working the inferiors hard basically. There's so much to like about Down I Go's 2008 record from a songwriting point of view as well as instrumentally: the chaos emanating from the musicianship and screamed vocals doesn't sound contrived and neither are the album's more melodic moments. With 12 songs in all and being able to move at a smooth pace, Tyrant is a release I heavily recommend checking out.

4.0 excellentjrowa001 | October 18th 08

this album is freaking nuts! a blend of post-hardcore and mathcore with a tint of mike patton-esque vocals (the variety and spasticness of the vocals brings mike patton to mind). a really fun and chaotic listen. the songs bring enough variety so the album is just like a huge kick in the face where youre left braindead. for fans of Look What I Did will probably like this album
