Review Summary: We are animals, Slaves to change through, Natural perfection, Natural Selection

Hailing from London, this 3 piece is like a mixture of metal guitar and bass groove with more of a alternative rock edge. The he drummer keeps the pocket yet he actually has attitude (get a chance to check out their YouTube videos, all their playthroughs are killer). Not to mention they add a melodic touch that's very appealing.

This record has some heavy bangers like 'Singularity', 'Dust', and 'Death From Above' which almost has djenty vibes. Then you have a track like 'Winter Keeps Us Warm' which is a very nice almost soft rock song but it works. The album flows fairly well, except I could care for interludes but that's just me.

Very cool dynamic work between the members, bouncing off each other while always maintaining that tightness. Oh, and the production in these tracks are top tier. For a very unknown band it's nice to hear good production can still be created.

The only negs I really have are that the album is nothing incredibly new. They add some fresh ideas, but for the most part its all been done somewhere out there, these guys just doing it really well. Hope to hear more bands like these in the near future.

First review in like 10 years! I know its not super in depth, but they are really unknown so I wanted to make a quickly that generalized their sound so more people can check them out. Then the smarties can write the deep reviews :D
