Member CD Reviews Ben W. (fbwilcox) from JASPER, GA Reviewed on 9/25/2008... Overall a great band. I would recommend it to fans of punk rock to thrashy metal. From the heavy guitar riffs and solos to the speedy yet flawless drums, it's defently a head-banging CD for any hard-sounding-music lover. I saw these guys play in Atlanta in late 2006 or 2007 (can't remember, haha) and got a chance to talk to the guitarist and drummer about the songs of their's I liked. I asked them why they didn't play "Kiss or Kill" which was my favorite track on the CD and they said they had to do special tuning on the guitars so it was hard to play live without already specially tuned guitars on standby. Overall, I love the CD! ~Ben
CD ReviewsIf A Ten Ton Truck Smashes Into Us... Thomas J. Bejgrowicz | Lancaster, Pennsylvania | 06/17/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is HIMSA like you've never known them, ever. From the European power metal opening notes of "Dominion" all the way through to the ascending, chaotic climax of "When Midnight Breaks" - HIMSA delivered the record I had hoped they would. "Courting Tragedy and Disaster" is an album for those who appreciate pure, raw power that runs like a freight train over your soul. It is smart and brutal while it yields its punishing delivery. With that said, it is not for those who are looking for a simple-minded mosh on every track, HIMSA are way too smart and talented for that easy fare. If you like the New Wave of American Heavy Metal (Shadows Fall, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage) and have a penchant for hardcore, The Misfits, Slayer and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal of old (Iron Maiden, in particular) then you're going to love this album, I guarantee it. God loves, HIMSA kills." Listen up, these guys rule Total Scumbag | Hell | 10/27/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Himsa is one of the best metalcore bands out there, and if they manage to hang in there, they could soon be one of the scene leaders. This album is full of solos left and right, as well as absolutely amazing guitar work. This feels like an attempt to bring the style of 80's thrash and mixing it with new school metal and hardcore. Here are the facts: no whiny emo singing here, not too many breakdowns, just amazing guitar work and a great metal sound with tough guy vocals. Although breakdowns are sometimes essential in a hardcore band, Himsa does just fine without them. To tell you the truth this sounds more like a metal CD, but it is easy to listen to and not too brutal. If you want a good metal CD with hardcore ethic you should pick this up and skip the 100's of poser bands inhabiting the genre."
