5 out of 5 stars This my friends is metalcore..........2005-10-12

I can sell you the scariness of this album in no more than 3 seconds, about the times it takes to upload the first track, "Hired Angel," here on Amazon. The clunky, rudimentary lick is the priest, the crooning is the choir boy. The boy pleads for his life, as the priest slashes his chest and lungs, mechanically, stoically... His bits paint the altar... And then things slow, only for a second, though it's the longest second, and we follow the priest's arm - in slow motion - as it carves the boy's flesh... We can't help but notice the chilling calm on the man's face.

Poof. Beefy guitar crunches pedal in, sludgy riding cymbals, choppy crash, tortured screams... Suddenly, we're situated in a netherworld in which we cannot know. Only imagine. I can't be sure. Certainly not. Though I interpret that which I sense. Demented angels, terribly sick, gnarled features, twisting themselves around this boy's soul as it's pulled through the darkness, toward a faint light somewhere far beyond... Withered fingers, knobbed by inflammation, fight to keep the boy here... With us.

Hands down, one of the most possessed albums ever. With the insight of _You and I_ and the severity of cult band _Weakling_, _New Day Rising_ is just nasty. And to think this album was created by a bunch of kids, way back in '97, back when Eulogy Recordings was a bull, with bands like _Upheavel_, _Bird of Ill Omen_, and _Spread the Disease_.
