More fun-loving Screamo-type-shit to either sink your teeth into or run for your life from. Is it just me or is this shit taking over. I guess it isn't totally S creamo. If Coalesce and Time in Malta were at a party and started eyeing each other from across the dance floor, had a few more drinks then succombed to their primal instincts - their offspring would bear a creepy resemblance to Twelve Tribes.

I like the constant, thick, background riffaging reverberating on repeat throughout the whole album that is The Rebirth of Tragedy. The band pays homage to hardcore roots with the classic pick-scraping breakdown on "The Train Bridge" reminiscent of my high school days of Automatic and AFI. The ten-tooth loosening songs that Ferret Music quality control was lurking on with money signs in their eyes are great for fans of Atreyu and the like. This band may have something, or they may just be a little harder than that one band that came before, though I am willing to bet money that these guys throw down a pretty eradicating live show.
