No! No! No! No! NOOOOOOO! There shouldn't be anything on the same level of terribleness as Spermswamp that isn't Spermswamp! But I tried experimenting with deathcore listening and now I've taken a horribly wrong turn.

I used to read some spare Revolver magazines that a local instrument shop had. There was an advertisement for Emmure's Felony in it. There was a quote from Metal Hammer in the advertisement saying "If you like your metal uncompromisingly aggressive, this is for you." Yeah, fuck Metal Hammer, fuck Revolver, and fuck this band.

That said there really is nothing uncompromisingly aggressive about this album. All I hear is nu metal inspired deathcore with lame riffs and shitty lyrics.

All the songs seem like terrible hardcore that stays in the breakdown the entire time throughout. The song writing is terrible, and mostly consists of chugging riffs that a five year old could play on a guitar. Drums are boring too.

As for vocals, you have three flavors to choose from: standard deathcore harshness, nu metal spoken word ("Oh Shit, What the fuck did I just do?"), or totally impossible understand growling that sounds like it belongs in a gore-grind or pornogrind album (wtf?).

And as for the lyrics, I'm just going to drop this sample and let you be the judge:

"Somebody help me please. Somebody help me please. I swear to god I'll pull this trigger. Swear to god I'll pull this trigger."

At least I listened to this album on Grooveshark. There is no way in hell I'd buy the CD. If you get this album for yourself, you're a moron; and if you recieve it as a gift from someone, it means they hate you.

brb, gonna go bash my head in to try to make myself forget what I just heard.

Deathcore experimentation. Probably won't turn back to this band though.
