Not a whole lot is known about these guys, but they did a split with Orchid so how bad could they be? Their Discography is made up almost entirely of riffy screamo that can get pretty speedy at times, as well as some nice vocal layering and insane screams, all with an anti-capitalist edge. It can get a little monotonous sometimes, but the general intensity and passionate ferocity of the record, helped along by some solid riff work, keeps things from becoming boring. The inclusion of samples are usually well-placed, and the production gives things a solid punch. There's one track near the end of the comp called "Untitled" and it's really the only one that's a bit out of left-field, being much more restrained and slow-burning than relentlessly aggressive. Put simply, Encyclopedia Of American Traitors had a solid body of work, and although they've been a bit lost to time, they definitely shouldn't be ignored.
