The vocals on the first track are so repulsive and off-putting that it’s hard to commit to getting to the rest of the album. There is a dash of Howard Jones’ approach in the delivery, and not the legacy Blood Has Been Shed brutal tone, but more of the local-dad-in-a-band-playing-at-the-nearby-pub approach. The band is crushing. The brand of hardcore lines up nicely with modern production, but the band needs to fire this vocalist. There is no silver lining here, especially with some of the tracks lingering in run time.
