West Coast Tough-Guy Deathcore

(3 out of 5 stars)
"Perfect music for stompin' the devil in the head. Imagine Bury your Dead doing deathcore. "And Every Knee Shall Bow" is pretty much one long mind-blowing breakdown, which hurts its replay potential, but it gets the juices flowing for sure. It is blatantly Christian, which is rare these days, and a large percentage of the lyrics are straight from the Bible. I can imagine this being the disc of choice at a Pentecostal revival/tattoo convention. Yeah it's derivative and brings nothing new to the table, but it's irresistible in its oun delirious way. The sheer monstrosity of the tsunami-sized breakdowns will make a believer out of even the most adamant musical elitist."
