As Artifacts seems to be a group that tries way too hard to follow in the footsteps of their idols. From their breakdowns to the synth lead dance sections, it all feels overdone. There are some pretty awesome moments though, where the energy sky rockets and while it's nothing new, those moments were what lead me through the songs. Without those dance moments and some work on the clean vocals, with a tad bit more in the creativity department, this band could work past the problems and branch away from everyone else.
