| As par for the course with JFAC, the genre changes up yet again, though it's less drastic than previous releases. Gloom sees the tech death of Ruination hit with a tinge of melodic death metal, particularly that of The Black Dahlia Murder. It works well, and the combination leaves us with JFAC's best material yet. Check it out if you liked any of JFAC's albums, or the aforementioned Black Dahlia Murder. |

| Out of the aussie deathcore scene this is one of the best. The last album was total suicide silence worship (done well, but still), while this is more unique. taking the best of tech death and adding in great breakdowns makes this stand out from the rest of the pack. vocals are astounding too./ |

| For the longest time I couldn't stand these guys. I had this album lying around but never got past the first few tracks because of how dull I thought it was. Flash forward a month or two ago and now this is one of my favorites out of last year's tidal wave of Pop Punk. Give it a chance and let it grow on you. You won't regret it. |

| Instead of trying to show of technical chops, these guys go for a groovier sound. It really works better for them in the end. They're pretty great at that, and while some tracks are unimpressive, the album is littered with brilliant songs like Intake and The Columbian Faction. Edge Of The Earth is undoubtedly the highlight of the album, managing to be heavy and beautiful at the same time. Unlike most metalcore bands who shoehorn in clean vocals, Volumes employs them rarely on Edge Of The Earth for maximum impact. They're very well performed (a rarity these days) and will stick in your mind for weeks to come. The album is worth a listen for that track alone. |

Just get the original and buy Vengeance and Fame > Demise on iTunes or something. |
