YES!!!
Sorry guys, I gave it a try – I really did. The music is great but those high pitched screams make me want to stick a pen in my ear. Best of luck to ya, but I’ll pass.
Well, the vocalist is a chick.
Doesn’t matter – bad vocals are bad vocals.
the vocals killed it for me, but I like the music.
Let’s say I were to buy something from their webshop, how are they to know to give me my Metalsucks’ 10% off?
Enter the code “Landmine.” Sorry… forgot to include that.
sounds goood!
but Prosthetic’s webstore doesn’t seem to agree that they are offering the discount…
“Coupon code “Landmine” is not valid.”
liked it. Thanks MS!
The Record sounds good. Vocals are fine first couple tracks are experimenting with vocal styles but most tracks sound like Landmine Marathon. Enjoyed the last record.
I want to like this band. I actually find the vocals compelling. The guitar work just kind of sucks though. Is it me or are they just not really that good?
I think so, too. From a player’s perspective, these guitar players aren’t good at all. If you can’t solo, please, don’t solo. It’s like Mike McCreedy from Pearl Jam, any solo he’s ever played could really be the solo for ANY one of their songs, it’s not like you HAVE to solo in a song.
I agree that the guitar work isn’t up to par but I am still digging it.
Well, I liked it. Good stuff. I enjoy vocals like that, as well as Randy Blythe screaming his head off on Burn the Priest and LOG, and Alexi Laiho, Angela Gossow, and others in that style. Sometimes that just expresses my frustration and anger for me. If I could scream like that, I’d do it myself!
Some of the best vocals ever! I like them even more live when they’re screechier! The music kicks ass. Can’t wait to get this record. Everyone who wants their death metal more polished can go fuck Nocturnus’ hairdresser!
wow. you’re a retard. great stuff though.
Just sick of death and black metal turning into stadium rock, and would-be reviewers over-analyzing music that should just be plain ugly. Sorry if I offended you Nocturnus fans.
Discount word “Landmine” is not working…
Is it me or do most of the songs sound the same, not a lot of variety
I really, really like this band. I think the vocals are totally intense and packed with emotion. The guitar tone is sweet!. The production on this record should be tight! I’ll wait the the actual disc to decide.
Hi Grace. *sigh*
Grace Perry is a hottie.
I kinda dig it. Great guitar sound. Terrible drum production. The snare is totally distorted (a la new Metallica). I’ll have to check out a better resolution copy, but mp3 encoding doesn’t add that kind of distortion, so I’m guessing it’s just limited to death like everything else these days. Too bad.
I like the rawness of it and the riffs are simple and heavy. Guitars could be tighter, but it adds to the vibe. Don’t like the occasional guitar solos, but I usually find solos to be a waste of time anyway… just makes it worse when they are mediocre.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but doesn’t that album cover look a lot like Warbringer’s Waking into Nightmares?
Oh, never mind. I just found out both covers were done by the same artist. No wonder it looked so similar. As for the music, I really didn’t care for it much.
It’s Landmine Marathon, just listen to Bolt Thrower….It’s a cool a bunch of ex emo kids are now into Infest and Brutal Truth I guess.
I’m really getting tired of guys who can’t sing screeching their way to recording contracts. There’s a huge difference between metal screaming and this death metal sanding of the vocal cords. If you’ve heard one, you’ve pretty much heard them all. Oh, and the guitar isn’t much better. Advice, dude, don’t solo…
Awesome album. Not a fan of bands who use gimmicks, like having an attractive female on vocals. Landmine Marathon doesn’t fall into this category. There’s no question as to Grace’s talent. Anyone who’s ever seen them live can attest to this. She and the rest of LM, are raw, their riffs are fierce and their music is, what seems to be elusive nowadays, good. Looking forward to the March 16th release!
