    Pretty good band, hopefully being on Metal Blade will get them some better production on their music now.

    Holy fuckin shit that was absolutely horrid! I feel like stabbing my ears! Those guys should not be allowed to make music. I liked to 15 seconds of it and it was so awful, that I couldn't go on any further. Wow…it's a shame that this piece of shit pathetic excuse for a band will probably get popular like Faggots Lay Dying, and Avenged Shitfold.

    I'm a music god. I know what sounds good. My critisizm was constructive. It was needed. Maybe the band will read it and learn from their horrible horrible mistake of becoming a shitcore band.
