This is one fucking brutal record!  These dudes hail from Cincinnati & Columbus, and feature almost all the members of THE DEAD HATE THE LIVING, and one member of THE AWAKENING, and you can definitely hear the influence from both bands in this, except they take it to a whole new level!  It’s fast, metallic crust.  The guitars are low, with tons of chugging riffs, the drums are galloping, and the vocals are shouted with ferocity, by multiple vocalists, with a little hoarseness, although you can still make out the words.  The artwork on the sleeve is minimal, mostly plain black, with a small foil stamped logo on the front to add to the dystopic, hopeless feel of the music.  Listen to this and I guarantee you’ll be banging your head to the whole thing; this is a fucking raging record!  Did I mention that this shit is galloping?  (righteous)
