REVIEW: Circle Of Dead Children - Human Harvest Martyr Music Group, 2003
6.5/10
Circle Of Dead Children - Human Harvest - cover art Grind seems to be outweighing the other influences on this, the band's third full-length. As with most "grind" bands, there are a ton of short songs on this album, each seeming to meld with the next until, in CODC's case, an actual catchy riff or noise-core part stands out from the mess; this is the case on tracks like "Oak and Iron", where I briefly thought that the songs reminded me of Internal Suffering with more breakdowns. Joe Horvath has some great, gurgling, toilet-bowl low vocals, but I despise his highs, which follow the Relapse-esque noise/math scream template. The fact that "Human Harvest" was produced and mastered by Steve Austin is likely supposed to be mentioned here; his work on this album is definitely above average, which is something I can only reluctantly say in the case of the band and songs themselves. Circle of Dead Children come off as dishonest this time around for some reason, in spite the simple and realistic lyrics.
