They have potential, but the vocals are supremely annoying. For using Bogners, the guitarists get some pretty wussy tones. Some pretty awesome guitar playing happens but the lame vocals ruin it all.
They're ok, i don't like theyre tones that much. Only heard that 'Unholy Confessions'song and the other guitarist n bassist in my old band played it all the time and the riff drives me mad now ive heard it enough!
I there new cd is mostly asll singing because M. Shadows busted a blood vesel in vocal chord or something like that and shouldnt scream ever again. I think he still screams on tour for their old stuff though. I'm going to them on warped tour this year.
I like them a lot. The guitar work is all pretty cool. They blend classic metal, hardcore, and punk very well.
I actually like their guitar tone. it's not the all-encompassing messy wall that a lot of punk and metal bands use these days. It's very tight and focused.
You really need to download some of their stuff or something....I just picked up the cd...awesome, I thought that "Unholy Confessions" was the best song....nope!....check it out!
