A Day To Remember - Homesick
I’m sure it’s easy to dislike A Day To Remember, as they’ve taken the most prominent parts of two of the most easy-to-hate genres and slapped them together, but the haters. With so many records that focus on the doom and gloom aspects of the world around us it’s refreshing to hear a group that just wants to have fun.

Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague
All in all the album is a great sounding album and by far their best yet, so the band achieved their aims and it will be interesting to see what they can do to better themselves with their next album.

The Sound Of Animals Fighting - The Ocean And The Sun
Free from cookie-cutter song structures and musical clichés, The Ocean And The Sun is the kind of record that many musicians can only dream of creating. If you’re into anything that’s slightly left of centre then I have no doubt that you’ll enjoy this as much as I did.

A Day To Remember - Old Record
Not a total waste of time, but if you’ve only got $25 to spend the next time you’re in a record store check out Homesick instead.

Cruel Hand - Prying Eyes
Re-inventing the wheel isn’t really a high priority for most hardcore bands, but when your record is executed this well, who really cares? No doubt the group’s live show packs one hell of a punch… hopefully we get a chance to experience it first hand.

Unearth - The March
Good result with a great return to form with an album littered with highlights and doesn’t have any clear dull moments as it flows extremely well from start to finish. I have strong feeling in my waters that this band will rule at soundwave so be sure to give them a captains.

Brokencyde - BC13 EP
I’ll leave you with a quote from British critic Warren Ellis, who described the band’s video for the track “Freaxxx” as: “a near-perfect snapshot of everything that's shit about this point in the culture”.

Between The Buried And Me - Colors_LIVE
Maybe this review is a tad bias considering how much I worship Between The Buried And Me, but I had no choice but to give this release a perfect score. To write music this impressive is one thing, but to pull it off in front of a crowd is something else entirely. In a word, incredible.
