3.5 greatcvlts | June 27th 11

Rise And Fall pt.II but is that seriously such a bad thing? While nearly everything on this album has been done before it does show promise and potential that can possibly be expounded upon in the future. An impressive debut album from a very young band coupled with a stellar production sound and a front woman who might overreach her vocal bounds every once in awhile but is surprisingly fresh all throughout. Not as revolutionary as it is an incredibly catchy and heavy album.

Their least bm, but crustier release. It's also their least good output, but they always thump.

3.0 goodzaruyache | February 25th 17

Crust/sludge. A lot of these riffs sound straight-up ripped from Mastodon's first two albums ("Origin" sounds like its riffs were lifted almost directly from "Leviathan"), and similar to early Mastodon Caro's vocals are equally raw and (imo) fairly annoying. Despite having some definitely meh vocals, though, the band does know how to riff--even if like a third of their riffs are actually just Mastodon co-ops. It's nice, crusty sludge metal hardcore. If the vocals would've been better, (as on "Rheia") this would've been a fantastic debut.

Fucking AMAZING album. Melted my face clean off...

4.0 excellentEvreaia | February 22nd 12

Dark, Gloomy, heavy but above all good hardcore. This band makes me proud to be Belgium!

Bump

4.5 superbDormition | June 25th 11

Dark, brutal and crushing! In the same vein as bands like Rise and Fall, Trap Them and Integrity, the debut LP from this Belgium metallic punk/hardcore outfit is without a doubt one of the best albums of 2011...
