This is a band that dabbles in the absurdity, providing an incredibly fun listen beginning to end. At its core, "Metalcore Superstars" isn't so much of a 'Metalcore' record, as the post-hardcore/electronic ("crabcore") style is clearly present throughout the album - yet its used tastefully and effectively in songs such as "Fast and Furious 666" and "Heavy Metal Finland". Adding to it, there's some REALLY catchy and well-written songs on here; "The Recipe", "Kings and Queens", and "Devil's Nest" won't leave your head after a listen. The most infamous track, "You're Dead! Let's Disco!" essentially is a pure representation of what this band is - complete with a recorder in the track's breakdown. Cheesy? Maybe. Original? Yes. Finally, it's hard NOT to mention the closing track "Sticks and Stones"...which at its core has a great message lyrically, and ends on such a bittersweet note. "Metalcore Superstars" might not gel with all audiences...heck, I'd be surprised if anyone heard of this one. But for me, it's a gem - and one of the best of 2016.
