Let's get into some slow jamz for the ladies. Seriously though, I'm taking a break from what's now my regular Thrash posts and giving you some Tae-Kwon-Do quality Metalcore. Last Witness are sort of in between the obese, Sumo-slap of Xibalba and the more "Rocking" sound of Hope Con. It's a nice balance for me. The medium pace makes this record great for lifting weights, or a brisk jog. 'Cause, let's face it, exercising is probably the number one activity people do while listening to this stuff. Metalcore might be the C&C Music Factory or Snap! for people with stretched-ears. Mourning After isn't without merit though. There are plenty of cool riffs and grooves here, and the band have seemingly limitless amounts of variations of each. My only real gripe is the singer's voice seems to be "cracking" and some of the lyrics are rather uninspired; but don't worry, you'll be too busy counting reps and looking good to notice.
Would Knuckledust be too tuff for you? For me they are THE definitive UKHC band.
ReplyDeleteIt's not that they're too tough, it's that they're too cheesy in a Death Before Dishonor/Throwdown sort of way.
