Free Music Review: Easily the Heaviest Album of 2001
Hit: 5 Stars
If you enjoy metal, the smartest thing you could do right now is buy this album. "Day of Reckoning," is as creative, as original and as heavy as Korn and Slipknot's self-titled debuts. Try to imagine the music that your ideal metal band would play and it won't even compare to Diecast. The band's success relies on the simplicity of their style: this album contains no guitar solos, no filler tracks, and no soft, emotional songs that demonstrate the bands "real" talent. The guitarists have a knack for writing fresh, original, grinding riffs, and their drummer supports them with excellent precision and thunderous double-bass pedaling. Plus, any band would kill for this lead vocalist; his range is undeniable and he screams with a gutteral rasp that other artists distort their mikes to obtain - think of carley coma from Candiria.
Yet, what escalates this band from "very good" to "unreal" are the little things: the drummer exhibits wise discretion with his double-bass use, complementing the music but not overpowering it (except possibly for the last 30 seconds of "remember the fallen"). The guitarists have an arsenal of great riffs, as evident in the end of "desensitized" which continues past a perfectly good stopping point with another phenominal guitar progression. The singer demonstrates a versatility that is unmatched in rock today. Plus, the band has an uncanny ability to settle into just the right beat for their music, never playing too quickly or rushing the riffs. When you play this album, you're guaranteed to catch yourself bobbing your head during every song.
All in all, Diecast has assembled an album which is as equally heavy and unrelenting as it is addictive. "Day of Reckoning" has one of the hardest opening riffs I've ever heard, and the intensity continues through the last note of the final song. They're also a terrific live act. Get this album now.
