This CD is reminiscent of the old-thrashcore type sound of Carnivore, Pro-pain, Early Prong and newer bands like My own Victim and No Innocent Victim with a heavy Slayer/Entombed influence. Theres the thrashy guitars, double kick drums as well the death metal sounding vocalist. Its fairly brutal and unrelenting stuff as they shred their way through six slabs of metalcore. The good thing about this band is that they manage to incorporate their influences without sounding too derivative. You can hear that they clearly love their hardcore as much as their metal which help to give their sound a snotty twist. However despite the promising opening track Crawl to Hide things start going slightly downhill as the music all starts to sound the same and the album starts to repeat itself. There are a million better bands making this kind of music and WIB arent doing anything extraordinarily different to help them to stand out from the rest of the pack. I dont know what it is but this just didnt grab me which is a shame as these guys definitely have potential.
