Hardcore cave-in fans beware—this is not your typical scream along melodic hardcore CD. In fact, this isn’t a hardcore CD at all, but rather a post-hardcore melodic masterpiece.

From the very beginning of this CD the hooks that are presented with catchy lines and foot-tapping drum beats bring a clear and talent filled mix. The vocals are very, at times, Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) reminiscent and there is a touch of Radiohead to be heard in the musicianship. Overall, a talent filled masterpiece has been presented in this latest Cave-In offering.

So, hardcore fans everywhere, branch out and give this CD a spin. No you won’t lose your voice at one of their concerts—but you will be inspired and quite possibly find yourself a new favorite band.
