| Easily the heavist album Blood Has Been Shed (or, arguably, anyone else), has ever done. Fronted by Howard Jones (who does double duty as the frontman for Killswitch Engage) since their inception, Spirals' finds BHBS experimenting with polyrhythms and off-timing, and the occasional Meshuggah reference. It's an entirely different entity. The end result is a ferocious metalcore monster more complex and heavier than its predecessor. Recorded by Zeuss, Spirals might very well be Blood Has Been Shed's defining moment in the metalcore scene, thanks to Unger's battering riffery and Jones' bipolar vocal prowess. |
