Absolutely fantastic album. "Consume the Damned" is the most brutal song that I have heard in years, from any band. It is simply ridiculous.

I haven't listened to their first album, or anything from KSE, but this album in very good.
"Consume the Damned" is my favorite, and I definitely was hooked as soon as I heard it. It gets a
4 for its sort of boring range in screams, generic metalcore riffs in some spots, and the just meh
"Eye of the Tiger" cover. The second bonus track, "I Am Alive", is your typical slow song from a
metal(core) band. The third, "We Live", is definitely a close tie to "Consume the Dead". Overall
great album, and I am going to have to check out their first, and the Howard era of Killswitch
Engage.

American metalcore supergroup Devil You Know's debut album, The Beauty of Destruction, made for an okay first impression. An overall decent record, the quality of this album was marred by weak production values, neutered clean vocals from frontman Howard Jones (don't worry, his screaming was still on point), and underwhelming arrangements. Some of the issues on the last release were sorted out here, thankfully. They Bleed Red not only boasts stronger instrumentation, but also better songwriting ("Let the Pain Take Hold" and "Broken by the Cold" benefit from it pretty well). While Howard's singing voice continues to be irritating as of late and the dated production is noticeable in places, I think the good outweighs the bad. On a side note, be wary of this band's rendition of "Eye of the Tiger".

A slight improvement compared to their last album, but it still doesn't make up for Howard's obnoxious cleans and dated production.
