Hailing from Canada and describing themselves as "Melodic Death-Thrash with nuances of Metalcore" you have to wonder if these guys are joking around, or can they really deliver? Read our review and find out!
Per the notes included with my review copy of Davey Suicide’s self-titled debut album, Davey Suicide, he is “ready to set the world ablaze.” That is quite the introduction; however, does it actually accomplish this? Does it really set the world ablaze? Well, see the notes at the end of this review, and that will tell you whether or not Davey accomplished what he set out for. If you appreciate dirty, punky, “fuck you” type of music, then yes. You will love this album. People are wondering where metal went. Well, it went somewhere after the wake of grunge, but Davey might be bringing some of it back. With a myriad of themes, this album is definitely an interesting compilation of songs, moving through various styles, displayed through the Davey Suicide lens.

Killswitch Engage are back with their original singer Jesse Leach, and this has caused a lot of controversy among fans. The first two albums released by the band cemented them as the founders of metalcore, and they gained much more popularity during the Howard Jones era, despite having a weak second self-titled album before he left. Now, Killswitch Engage have to win back fans with 'Disarm the Descent' – if it's good, then the fans will stay, but if it isn't, then the band might as well not stay together. After listening to the album, I'm going to conclude what it's like now: 'Disarm the Descent' practically shits on all of the band's discography: it's nothing short of amazing.
The name says it all for the Finnish quartet – an album potentially full of cliché horror punk lyrics, themes, music and just another band to laugh at for having a rather ludicrous name. However, take note that I used the word "potentially." It could have happened, there's no doubt about that, but having been to quite a few horror punk gigs myself, this album is something not to be laughed at and dismissed easily. Containing near pop punk before divulging into massive breakdowns, this is one of the best releases I've heard of this year so far.
