| Enter Shikari Sorry, You're Not A Winner |
Enter Shikari are this year's newest Metalcore bandwagon riders. Similar to Funeral For A Friend and Trivium these British teens deal heavily in inoffensive Pop Metal but combine it with Trance and Electro influences. Of course, after four years of Avenged Sevenfold I'd be one of the first to sing the praises of someone who had the balls to put some life back into the dying genre that is Post Hardcore . . . . . or Screamo, or Metalcore or what it's called this month - sadly, Enter Shikari aren't that bad.
'Sorry, Your Not A Winner' is nothing more then a Bullet For My Valentine B-side wrapped in a gimmicky Electro shell. 'OK Time For Plan B' features a synth riff that could have been sampled from Axel F's Crazy Frog remix CD and a chrous plucked straight from any of the last three Taking Back Sunday albums. Whilst, final track 'The Feast' is what Slayer would sound like if they had grown up listening to NTrance and spending their Friday nights down the local park with a 2 litre bottle of White Thunder.
Will they be huge? oh god yeah! come Download Festival they'll be bigger then Jesus and Godzilla combined, but does that make them great? - fuck no |
