Embodyment-Embrace the Eternal/Fleshcrawl-Impurity/Embodyment-Hold Your Breath

This band formed under the name Supplication back when they were 14. The band started out with death metal for the first 3 demos. This was their first full-length on solid state records. It was pure deathcore. A great album nonetheless, featuring Bruce of Living Sacrifice. The songs are very repetitive but great no matter. This was their last metallic album before they turned to alternative christian rock. Track 10 (the outro) was mad scary and a great way to end the album. Overall Rating: 8.5/10 The best release by this band by far. Brutalized vocals with doomy extreme death metal drums and guitars. It took me 2 weeks to listen to this album (due to me listening to it very late at night) but probably a good reason, because i've gotten to know the album in detail, very well. Recently i've grown away from them and found the release quite boring though. Overall Rating: 5/10It was a real upset when i ordered this album and received it in the mail without the artwork and just the cd all scratched. I'm extremely angry with the man i ordered it from. It's a mediocre album. The best song is the only one that skips. The album has very calm same vocals throughout the whole album, nothing that jumps out at you and makes it any better. The drums and guitar were very math metal oriented. Again...this band was way before their time. They were what the gay "core" music scene is into now. The album would of gotten a better rating if it was of better quality (how it was sold to me). Overall Rating: 4/10
