Free Music Review: Killing For Sport... and Never Slowing Down!
Hit: 5 Stars
As a lover of all things Christian Metal, I was really excited to find "The Famine." There's a shortage of truly heavy grindcore/death metal style bands playing in the Christian scene right now. You've got legends like "Living Sacrifice" and you'll occasionally stumble upon something truly amazing like "Becoming the Archetype" or "Haste the Day"... but for the most part, you're looking at metalcore bands. Now, let me be up front.. Metalcore is one of my favorite genres of music. Most of my favorite bands are straight metalcore (August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying, In Fear and Faith, The Devil Wears Prada, Demon Hunter, etc.) That being said, I felt it was time to venture out into metal a little more and seek something more along the lines of "Becoming the Archetype" or even "Norma Jean."
I found exactly what I was looking for with "The Famine." This album is not only insanely brutal and heavy, but super technical, wizard fast and superbly creative! The chord progressions and riffs found here are exactly the kind of thing a heavy music fan needs to curb their appetite, and aside from that... the lyrics are great! (Ascend is a great worship song, and many others speak of political issues, relationships and God's plan for us.) Overall, this is a CD I could definitely recommend for fans of incredibly heavy music (although if you're trying to convince your friends that you're not an eccentric, this would not be the album to play for them.) : )
Long live Christian Metal. May God continue to use this music to pump fans and fill their minds with positive messages! I for one glean much spiritual and musical meat from this type of music, and I assume many others do the same!
In Christ,
Media Lover
