| Review: |
| The Common Man are a pretty straightforward metalcore band. Unlike the "holier than thou" acts of today, they play hardcore with slight hints of metal. Rather than playing all barre chords, or conversely, never playing anything even resembling a chord, The Common Man keep it simple by lifting eerie Slayer leads and employing them above a hard-hitting power chord rhythm. The vocals are pretty gruesome screams. Plague the Child have a more grindcore sound ala Circle of Dead Children. Alternating between Gremlin-esque cackles and low-end death grunts, the frontman's windpipes are hideous. Musically, imagine a lot of blast beat drumming with tons of speedy guitar work, like Cannibal Corpse on crack. And they leave room for some breakdowns which is never a bad thing. Overall, these two bands compliment each other well. The split doesn't sound like a one band full length yet it doesn't sound like two bands that should never cross paths. The best thing about this split might be it's ability to pull fans of two somewhat different styles of music into the same arena. |

| lex - the common man sucks live......and they have egos that don't match their music. i saw 'em in daytona beach last june......i wasn't impressed | | 6hail6satan6 - BUY A FUCKING CD BIOTCH!!! This release will tear you a new asshole! It will rip off your head and shit down your neck while reading the CrackRockSatanVeg Zine. Then, it will get up from the beheaded corpse and skullfuck the bleeding severed head that is being held up by a wooden stake that burns in the middle of the Lake of Fire (I'm just that fucking good with words mother fucker). So, if you'd like to bear children in the future, I'd advise you to pick up this release NOW!!! They even smeared yak's blood all over the cover and the CD itself. HOW FUCKING METAL IS THAT??! Give yourself a good swift kick to your left testicle now if you dont order this within the next ten minutes you read this punishing review. After you've disgracefully placed your order, light some candles in the form of a pentagram on a toilet seat in your provided household bathroom, take off all your clothes, stand on the tank, spread your legs, and pull each and every individual pubic hair from your sweaty nutsack and eat them, until this CD arrives in your mailbox. If the CD still hasn't arrived when you're done consuming your pubes, you better pray to all that is evil and dwells in the holy land of Hates that you find some more to eat, because this is the most brutal and sickening release of this year! Can I get a Hell yeah??!?! | | Elise - Man, what a great cd...its so f'in CORE! | | Adam - fuckin' good ole southern Satan Rock! WOOOOOO!!! By god if those fuckin fucks dont rock the rock, I dont know what on gawd's green earth I'd do. IF IT AINT DIXIE, IT AINT SHIT!!! And y'all can eat a dick and get Burned at the Stake. | | colquitt - the common man have been burned at the stake. they're rad. they should totally start giving satan some credit though. | | | | Click here to leave a comment. |
