Crafter managed to surpass his thick Australian accent (and some sound difficulties) and bring out the last ounces of energy the crowd had. Guitarists Slim MacDonald and Eric Ellis kept the riffs going while displaying some acrobatic spins that brought a stronger element to their stage show. Drummer Mark Castillo deserves a nod for how he handled and delivered solid double-bass drumming throughout the whole set.
At the end of the day, Bury Your Dead keep the music simple and heavy. Their consistency will definitely be advantageous in the current state of the hard-core/metal scene with bands aplenty. The old saying of "if it ain't broke, why fix it?" seems to be the theme for them and that looks to be working out just fine.

I think this album is pretty good. I am not a big hardcore fan, but these guys deliver the brutal breakdowns that I like.
I saw them open for Hatebreed and Killswitch Engage in December, and they did a great job f getting the crowd going, feeding off of the energy was quite a sight to see.
