Metalcore that’s Southern-fried in a stew of Down and some of the later works of Pantera with a bit of post-hardcore screamo sentiments tossed in as if it was a red wine vinaigrette. Produced by Travis Wyrick who has worked with P.O.D. and 10 Years, “The Lost, The Sick, The Sacred” is an album that the group should be proud of for years to come. As this Ohio-based band’s Solid State debut goes, it’s a fashionable heavy music album that spotlights a lot of the touches that make a lot of other likeminded groups really famous and successful with the teenager crowd. But to be honest, I don’t think that’s what this group is all about, it just happens to be a side effect. The squelching guitars wail as the screamed vocals drip melancholy and disaffected emotional outbursts amid a chaotic boat of floated near-dreams. Interesting.
