Godfather Records has released one of their best titles to date. 14 tracks of aggro-metal at its best is what you get on this modern groove heavy feast of hardcore in the vein of Sevendust and Staind. Rapcore, hardcore and metal influences abound as this disc just serves to prove another band with strong Christian lyrics can compete (and excel) in the mainstream market. The production is top-notch showcasing the flawless work of producer Kirk Campbell (from Eternal Decision) on yet another great release. The music chugs along like a freight train slowly stirring any mosh pit into a frenzy that explodes into instant insanity on tracks like "Fake" which reminds me a bit of Korn on the guitars lines. The vocals are harsh in the style of Sevendust/Staind but not quite as good. The music however is SO good that it makes up for any weakness in the vocals area. My personal preference would have been a bit more clear or more heavy on the vocals, either direction could have improved the vocal delivery, which as stated is not bad and most people into this style of music will find the vocals just right and overall fitting to the genre. This is a must have cd for fans of Staind, Sevendust, These 5 Down, Travail, etc.
