    Don't let the name fool you, these guys aren't a joke band. Serious crunch metal is more like it. I love the mixture of blood-curdling hardcore screaming with melodic harmonies. The instrumentation is also fairly textured, with pounding drumming, criss-crossing guitars, acoustic and finger-picking, all in a swirling, heady mix. While not industrial at all, it might appeal to fans of industrial metal, metalcore, groove metal, and anything heavy. I wanna hear these guys in a super studio. It'll be fun to hear these guys improve on a good sound. They've definitely shown improvement since their last output -- Desent.
