THE REVIEW

Power, power, power...

There is no simple way to explain it, it's pure and violent power of nine madmen.

This album demands headbanging that at certain points in the songs must transform into murders. We have before us a young band that, through growling and rapping, will make its way to reach the peaks of the metal mountains. In my opinion, the production is good for being the first album released (not counting mate.feed....). The album alternates real metallic outbursts with songs where a certain inexperience is felt. Some fundamental tracks to be remembered are: Wait and Bleed, Only One, Eyeless, Spit it Out, (Sic), and my favorite: Surfacing. A certain inexperience can be noticed in "Me Inside," a track I find useless, with a progression that does not convince me at all, or also in "No Life" with rapping that doesn't fully convince me because it reminds me too much of a rap group rather than metal. In my opinion, rap metal should be like "Spit it Out," fast and aggressive. Songs I didn't mention, such as "Get This" or "Tattered and Torn," I didn't mention them because, even though I appreciate them, they flow through the CD player without leaving a mark, a trace of violence inside that makes you hate the world.
