Crestfallen
Streaks of terror

For their first full-length, these Northern Virginia shredders slay through nine songs (including a sick Violence cover) with a youthful passion. The fast parts bring to mind bands like Catharsis or His Hero Is Gone, but with more melody to balance everything out. The chunky, metal riffage is highlighted by thunderous drumming with enough blasts and breakdowns to destroy a small country. Finally, a record that does this band justice.
