Integrity - Humanity is the Devil

Integrity - Humanity is the Devil

What can be said that already hasn't been said? Hands down one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years. One of the most influential sounds. One of the most mysterious and outlandish frontmen to ever front a hardcore band. I mean what band gains popularity by shit talking popular bands at the time just to go against the grain? This band is the perfect mix of metal and hardcore (and really started the entire Cleveland metallic hardcore scene, which Cleveland will eventually become synonymous with). Let's see if we've got the checklist of requirements for timeless record:
Intro to crush skulls to - check
Follow up songs are perfect blend of metals fury and hardcores intensity - check
Amazing lyrical themes set to bone crushing breakdowns and ear melting solos - check
Eerie album closing instrumentals - check

I think the gang is all here.

I invite the shadows near no longer contained by your evils outweighing the curse of humanity.

Who writes lyrics like this!?

I could go into detail on what it sounds like but there are two things preventing this. First off I am too amazed by this record to begin to describe it in full detail because I know I'll be mad at myself if I miss something, and second of all this is an album you must hear to believe.
