Probably the most overlooked 2007, The Unveiling establishes Cry of the Afflicted as a merited band in the Post-Hardcore genre and earn their recently made deal at Solid State Records. The Unveiling isn't groundbreaking or full of superb musicianship; however it does fit the band's niche perfectly. The mixture of chugging guitars and screaming alongside harmonized vocals and clean guitar riffs is arguably done better than any other in the genre gives Cry of the Afflicted their signature sound. It seems as though the band has finally established what they want to sound like and where they want to take their music in the future.
