Music Review: Musical mastery
Cardinal Courier NY

In a way deathcore is saving death metal because it’s introducing a new group of kids who are hardcore fans to an older type of music. Diaz and Boudreau say they borrow some of the gory lyrical themes of death metal and blend them with some of the more social issues found in hardcore lyrics. They swear they never ever “write about girls. ” Their anti-emo teenage fans seem to enjoy this fact. Evidence can be found in the band’s song “This Time.
