In all honesty it was pretty cool at first IMO. After a while though the pummeling open-note breakdowns, constant blast beats, and screaming-induced-by-castration got on my nerves. Whitechapel was, IMO the only band that did all this while retaining any bit of melody or any sense of music other than "chug-chug-chuga-chuga-chug" (See the end of the song 'The Somatic Defilement').
Again,
MY OPINION.
