Trials “Witness To The Downfall”

“Witness To The Downfall”
(-)
I can honestly say that I don’t get the whole metalcore/deathcore thing. To me that is just style over substance. Call it metal. Don’t pretend to be more and better just because you’ve added core to the ending. Trials are metal, there’s no doubt about it. I don’t care what you call your metal. If I like it I like it. I’ve become very cautious when I come upon a, for me, new North American metal band because apparently you never know what you’ll get. Trials have clear death/thrash metal tendencies mixed with a more modern approach. It was more old school and less melody induced than I had expected. I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do but there is something to “Witness To The Downfall” that convinces me that this is pretty good metal, no matter what they chose to call it. Anders Ekdahl
