| Band: Act Of Violence Location: Columbus, Ohio Album: The Price Of Existence (LP) Genre: Metal Track Picks: "Tragedy," "The Anthem," "Tears of The Innocent" Lowdown: Ten tracks of stomping, aggressive metal music complete with bass-filled vocal groans, growls and shouts. Smooth guitar solos and relaxed singing, although limited, create a balance throughout this mosh pit fueled full-length debut. Each of the five members combine their qualities to release a sonic wave of anger. Overall, this Paper Tiger Studio recorded/mastered album will likely appeal to listeners of Goatwhore and Sepultura. The album cover image itself is reflective of Goatwhore's latest release. Shawn Adams' vocals draw comparison to the distorted textures heard by Wayne Static in early Static-X songs, as well as the in-your-face punk style of Rollins Band. The album closes with two solid bonus tracks, including a rock version of Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right"--what's that noise? Aww, mom you're just jealous, It's the violence boys. AOV is lining up show dates for the spring and summer and earlier this year the band had a backing track ("Tragedy") featured in Henry Bryant's documentary, The Hidden Truth. Now. Let's mosh. http://www.myspace.com/actofviolence1 Purchase on DigStation |
