Free Music Review: Crushes Like a Tank
Hit: 5 Stars

While I'm at it, let me get all the heavy metal superlatives out of the way: bone-crunching, brutal, ground-shaking, ear-shattering. I know there are more, but I can't spend a whole review on them.

The first thing I notice about this album is that the attack is much more focused than 2004's Antigone. The songs are on the whole much more up-tempo, there are a lot less keyboards, and there isn't the myriad of intros/outros that broke Antigone up into sections. Overall, it's a much more straightforward thrashfest than Antigone was, with more shredding riffs and double-bass thunder.

Guitarist Patrick has departed (to complete his university education, I believe), replaced by Alex, who more than holds his own on this disc. I did hear a few keyboards, but they are few and far between. The album comes barreling out of the gate with "Counterweight"'s, opening salvo of super-dense guitars and machine-gun drumming, and pretty much doesn't let up until then end. "Trespassing the Shores of your World" opens with another full-on assault and then breaks down into a syncopated passage that alternates time with the more straightforward grinding. "Profane Believers" was probably the first song that I thought had some real melody to it, and it's a nice chance to have a breather after the utter pounding of the first two tracks. "Stay the Course" is also pretty melodic, but it has plenty of hammering drums and grinding-metal guitars to keep your blood pumping. "The Final March" is a terrific mid-paced grindfest that slows down the tempo a bit and hits with peaks and valleys of impact. "Of no Avail" is very reminiscent of Antigone, with its sudden tempo changes, melodic riffs, and keyboards. "Armia" is a slow, melodic grindfest that laments lost innocence and devastated homelands. "Mybestfriends.com" is a quick-paced accusatory track that seems to throw vitriol at the internet community and the isolation it can cause. The title makes me think of MySpace. "Biogenesis(Undo Creation)" was a high point for me; a frantic, unapologetic discourse against the rise of intelligent design that opens with a flurry so dense that it approaches critical mass. "Dying in Silence" opens with a creepy synth track that quickly escalates into a fast, melodic entreaty to stand up for oneself and have some dignity. "The Greatest Gift of God", is a bit of an oddity, it opens with a "shout choir" that proclaims "false prophets rule your life" repeatedly before the song shifts into gear: a slow song with a bit less guitar than the other tracks.

Overall, I was very impressed with this album. With tons of scorching riffs and blasting drums, it's a brutal, near-relentless assault on the senses. Marcus' vocals sound haunting and abrasive, and overall the album has enough variety to avoid monotony. The bonus DVD is just icing on the cake: with a music video and a complete 9-song live set from 2005's Hell on Earth tour, it's a real treat for HSB fans. But the "Deaf to Our Prayers" stands alone as a top-notch display of metalcore viciousness. If you like metalcore or just brutal music, you won't regret picking this one up.
