I'm shocked! These guys have completed revamped their sound, yet they come off as if they've been playing this style for years. Very confident and commercially-appealing stuff, here. While previously dancing around the heavy sounds of metal metal metal, these Aussies have ventured into the realm of modern rock without sounding contrived or wimpy. Fans of Circle of Dust, fans of techno, fans of goth, fans of the low vocals of Type O Negative, fans of Joy Division, fans of good hard music really have something to love here. It's very unique, very heavy, and produced extremely well. I'm totally stoked over this release and will probably play it more than any other I've reviewed this issue (signed or indie).
