My first impression was that they were able to sound remarkably like bands such as Avenged Sevenfold and to a lesser extent Silverstein. But that quickly changed when their own unique sound began to take hold. Do we have a double team of vocals that range from yielding singing to wild, bestial vocal slams. A welcome duo if I have ever heard one, as both complement the rough guitars that are prone to harsh breakdowns as well as the frequent, intelligent melodies. The lyrics follow a similar pattern where sections speak in multi-layered cocky wisdom, while other parts are reserved for the harshest of words.

   While being a little coarse around the edges at times, the guitars not only put up rather impressive walls of sound, but also craft some new-fangled ways to transition guitars through both hard and soft parts of all of their songs. The guitars also have a remarkable range that finds them traveling in-between breakdowns and magnificent melodies, without hesitation. I found myself stopping a lot during the review and looping tracks because they were so detailed and each caught my attention for a different reason.

   The outlandish Avenged Sevenfold guitars that litter "ATM" are what throw you off at first. But it instead thrusts you into cascading throaty blasts, dizzying guitar performance, and one hell of a start off song. I also really loved "Dissect Yourself" because of the maturation of not only the guitars (which took several hybritic forms), but also the background synth and dual vocal prowess. Truly one of the best tracks on the CD. "S vs. S" is also a driving force song that scraps at your ears with a combination of grating vocals, sharp guitars and a pounding drum/bass line.
