OUTGUNNED “Embers”

There are times when I just want to sit back and relax, enjoying a really great record. This is not one of those moments. There is nothing relaxing to Outgunned full on metal(core) attack. I’m slowly getting used to this new form of metalcore (yeah I know I’m years off) and I’m getting to the point where it doesn’t annoy the shit out of me. I still have a hard time with the tougher than tough shouty vocal approach and the break downs that seem to be common for this type of music but as with hardcore I got round to liking it. Outgunned are no worse than any other act I’ve heard lately. There is a somber element to the chaos even though you have to listen hard to detect it. In my more hardcore moments I’d put this on and just pogo away like a maniac. Anders Ekdahl
