With One is a Canadian thrash outfit that should get some heads
banging and people moshing. “The Purpose of Existence”
is eight songs for a little over forty-three minutes of straight ahead
thrash. A description of them could be a less complex version of Corrosion
of Conformity crossed with Strapping Young Lad, or Pantera combined
with Life of Agony. Some riffs are even Sabbathy; cool heavy, riffs
that are easy to get your head nodding. But that also leads them to
having songs that seem simple to a point where it seems to be missing
something. They have the right idea, but the music doesn’t follow
through all the way. The music might be a little immature, but they
do make up for it a bit with having songs that are good lengths, between
four and a half and six minutes long. “Bright Black” and
“Simple Simon” are solid tracks and “Victim,”
“Paradise Lies,” and “Clinically Dead” a pretty
good as well. The band seems to use old styles of transitions in songs
sometimes, which is refreshing to hear. They also include some nice
harmonies in Clinically Dead. One thing that might need to be a little
louder are the solos. They sometimes get lost behind the rest of the
band. Besides that this is a respectable album, maybe with a little
time, they can grab the attention of some prime metal labels. Rating: 71 |
