Also, they don't use that chunky, Despised Icon style guitar tone that every band uses just because it makes for heavier breakdowns. I ****ing hate that ****. It's not quite as chainsaw-like as I'd prefer, but it's a start.
I too have seen them live and found myself to be entertained but this quite is really quite bad. Lyrically, they are the equivalent of Five Finger Death Punch only that they trade machismo themes for general violence. Also, about that tone you mentioned...they use it just like everyone else in their genre specifically for breakdowns like you mentioned. And the breakdowns they build their songs around are some of the most neanderthalic
and knuckle-dragging I've ever heard.



You can't be "br0000tal" in a v-neck, just sayin'
