We've drawn a lot of influence from the metalcore genres like Killswitch an weve got quite a bit from Lamb of god and a bit of in flames as well.
Have a listen an let me know what you think.

Well....

It's metal allright...

Fast, tight and aggressive like it should be.

My impressions....

Can't always hear the vocal and all the songs I heard sound rather too similar....

I am not a metal head but you could consider some more softer and melodious passages in your music juxtaposed with the aggressive stuff. Think System of a Down - perhaps?

I keep trying to suggest a few slight changes, but the singer and lead guitarist were dead against it, they have now left so im looking forward to the changes its going to bring.
Weve started writing other stuff already and its a lot more bass orientated and does have different and practically acoustic at time passages which does make it seem more impressive.
Its weird cus I'm normally more of a punk/ska kinda guy but for some reason i love playing metal just cus its so much more fun properly rocking out on stage

@ mattofash

Great fun to play metal I am sure..(more into indie and hip hop myself)....

....What I am saying is that you will probably find that if the music is hard and heavy throughout then the listener has nothing to compare it with so it becomes somewhat less exciting. If there is a softer and melodious passage followed by a hard and heavy section then the hard and heavy section will sound even heavier.

It builds up the tension and release, drawing the listener in....

Man i wish we had a recording of our newest bit song it has exactly that in it

I like the change-up break in Corpse.

I'm not a big metal fan but, I thought the music was tight, the drums was excellent.

The singer can really "actually sing", nice voice, when singing.

Great and intricate bass playing. The guitar is good, but does not take things to another level. Good basic guitar, rhythm parts, but lack few surprises or really breaking out and taking things to the next level. Rising War & Waiting For Silence samples sounded better from the small clip provided, guitar wise. It's hard to really give a good musical critique from short 30 second samples, so I can only really judge the song Corpse.

Overall, Everything stays at one pummeling tone/pace. I would mix things up a bit more as others suggested. Obviously you are all very good musicians, thats not a problem. A bit more creativity or uniqueness in either your song structures or sound would be a plus, to me.
I feel you need something to make you stand out from other bands in the genre.


again I am not a metal head so take my thoughts with a grain of salt, but you asked.

yeah man thats the kinda thing I was hoping for in a way.
Weve been together about a year and already signed to a local label so were off to a good start I'd just like a bit of advice on the best direction to take it in, whilst keeping it recognizable
