Bleed the Sky – “Paradign in Entropy”
These boys will obviously sell lots of cds. They got the tunes: lots of the hardcore sound, the shouting and everything hip. Of course, they got the “tough” boy musician look, too. You know what: they have been listening to lots of Hatebreed, Superjoint Ritual, Machine Head, as well Linkin Park and the sound reflects it. I know they will be huge rock stars and Motorhead will end up being an opening band for them. Still, they are too derivative, too trendy. Behind the dreadlocks and the curse-word and Slayer shirts (Does everybody want to show off how “cool” they are by wearing Slayer shirts?) stands a group with very little personality. No, they are not “horrible” or whatever. The problem is that they have no real personality, nothing that says anything special about this music, except that they like bands on Roadrunner Records. It’s a young band. Maybe they’ll get better.
