This is advertised as melodic death metal, although I have no idea why: it is essentially just straight up metalcore. In fact, it sounds like a mashup of As I Lay Dying (sidebar: lol @ fucking Tim Lambesis) and Unearth, with a bit more emphasis on the latter due to the prevalence of gothernburg style guitar leads and no clean vocals. Apparently this band was once a melodic death metal band called Ignominious Incarceration (say that ten times fast), but then they changed their sound and style for some odd reason. In any case, it is a short album (30 minutes! That's Linkin Park length!) with two useless interludes in 11 tracks, and passes by quickly without a whole lot sticking.

2.5/5 - This is average metalcore. Which is not to say it is bad necessarily, just nothing new. It is definitely delivered professionally enough to have almost half the album make my workout playlist, but is interchangeable with any Unearth song (which is a group of more capable musicians).
