Suicide Silence - The Black Crown
\r\n The arch "enemy" of puritan deathmetallers, american act Suicide Silence have reached the "love it or hate it status" faster than they should have although they have only been around for 6 years. But if you put aside the scene kids and the trend around their name you may discover fresh yet brutal music. So, this is their third album so far and the bar is already too high.

\r\n After 2 very successful full lengths and countless fans praising deathcore hymns like "The Price of Beauty" the youngsters bring us "The Black Crown" only to remain on top of the cream. Not much has changed, not much has been added to their style, yet with a strong frontman/throat they offer tunes to beat your friend to death and to destroy the neighbour’s garden statues. I think that what made them hit the spot is the fact they keep it simple. Their songs are short and straight forward, something you are bound to meet again in "The Black Crown". Groove, faster parts everything is weighed to the last details so the result is balanced and extremely catchy to the ear. On the other hand this could prove to be a kickback at some point. Repetetion, not daring enough can lead to boredom but this is just me running off too far..

\r\n It’s way too early to be talking about such a thing, though I think their next move will be a career defining one. The band is in a productive period and after a mediocre "No Time To Bleed" gains ground with a good newcomer, able to draw some attention to it. With a surprising guest appearance by Jonathan Davis from Korn on "Witness the Addiciton" and mosh anthems like "Fuck Everything" and "You Only Live Once", "The Black Crown" is destined to climb the charts sooner or later. We only need to see them on stage to have a first hand view of what today’s music can do. Oh, did I mention Frank Mullen(Suffocation)is here too? DIG! \r\n
