Braceyourself for a rigorous metallic hardcore experience, as tracks likeBilateral Consequence juxtapose Cave in, Unsane, and Bloodlet for quitethe unsettling listen. The Fate of Arbogast and Maneater liberally takefrom the Mastodon/ Converge playbook, while the foreboding intro onKingsnake does nothing to prepare you for the massive beast the songbecomes at the five-minute mark. Add in some caustic vocal chaos ontracks like Watch Them Become Animals and a Snapcase-esque hardcorestab on Back into the Woodwork and youve got quite the monstroushardcore potpourri on your hands. if you enjoy progressively tingedhardcore, Century is the band to check out, as they artfully tread theline between in the pit and left of center." - Metal Maniacs • Time Of Cholera • Pack Of Wolves • An Aria • Doors @ 830pm Show @ 9pm • $ 8 | ||||
