Sure it's bad. But it's at least entertaining for a few songs before you get bored and want to listen to something else. Most deathcore can't even do that for me.

Also, about that tone you mentioned...they use it just like everyone else in their genre specifically for breakdowns like you mentioned.
Nah, they've got a bit more of a lo-fi thing going on with their guitar tone than most others, at least on their first album, which is the only one I'm really familiar with.

And the breakdowns they build their songs around are some of the most neanderthalic and knuckle-dragging I've ever heard.
But yeah, they are most certainly a breakdown band that's gonna go down hard when this whole deathcore thing finally goes outta style.
