This album is the equivalent to those
fights you see where things start off well with lots of fists and blood, but
fall into a lull shortly thereafter. You know that what is taking place takes
some skill, and question whether or not you could do better yourself while you
watch the combatants awkwardly search for a new rout to take in their attack.
Frustrated, your mind wanders while the minutes tick away. Should you do
something else? You eventually sum it up by saying that it's better than most
alternatives. But, is this really what you should be saying about a metal
album? Where is the aggression, the ferocity and the bloodlust? The Defaced
get pretty radio-friendly at times, even laying out what could essentially be
an 80's ballad in "!0 vs 9". Undoubtedly, they can play their instruments,
but seem to be missing elements which lay the very foundations of metal.
[Editor's comment: This album was released in Europe through the Italian
label Scarlet Records.]
