From its onset, Blessed By A Broken Heart’s first full-length is clearly constructed to cast lasting impressions on its listeners, first or long time fans. The opening track, entitled “Action,” is not much of a track at all. Consisting of a solid metal guitar lick and a sample, the first track does an adequate job of launching the genre-relevant but tastefully innovative All Is Fair In Love And War. For lovers of hard music, BBABH has it all. From excruciating moments of pure grindcore to catchy hardcore melodies and breakdowns to ripping metal solos and some variety thrown in for good measure, this album meets all your wants and needs. They are able to consolidate the best of the brutal scene’s many denominations and are well-worth your time.
Ratings – Doug Van Pelt 3/5, Tiffany Chow 3/5
