This is an Aus­tralian met­al­core band that sticks to con­ven­tion. It’s in the same vein as Pan­tera or Slay­er, with noth­ing to sug­gest that they are record­ing in this decade. Might be fun at a live venue, but not like­ly to be played repeat­ed­ly at home. They’ll be com­ing to Toron­to next month, and I might check them out if I’m in a nos­tal­gic mood for ‘core. I have two albums: Killing with a Smile (2005) and Hori­zons (2007), with dif­fer­ent bass play­ers. I like the drum­mer, who does some nice machine-gunning.
