I picked up a few CD's last night. I highly recommend both:
|
Hatebreed - The Rise of Brutality. This one's been on my list for a long time. An improvement of their prior release, Perseverence. The production is better and it's heavier. The guitar riffs were constructed for pure heaviness and power. Not as much shred-tempo tunes on this one, which I am glad about. Only downside is that I'd like to see a little more variation in the how the tunes sound. |

Low- The Great Destroyer. Low is from my hometown and I'm glad to see that they're still going strong. This disc is a huge change in their sound - they've always been known for their minimalist/slow-core sound, but this is nothing like their old stuff. Alan and Mimi's vocals sound stronger than ever, and I absolutely love the smooth and warm but heavily distorted guitars. The production is excellent and the mixing is creative. Go take a listen on Amazon. |
