This 58-minute CD is not designed for metalcore purists; rather, these German agitators combine metalcore with a strong death metal influence and, at times, hints of black metal . But metalcore is the dominant ingredient, and the abrasive screaming vocals of Marcus Bischoff are quite typical of metalcore and hardcore singers.
