On the group's third album, YEAR OF THE SPIDER, the Florida-based quintet further explores its angst-ridden side with sweepingly dramatic production and lyrics that often read like the diary of a severely depressed suburban teen. Occasionally sounding like a heavier, slicker, and angrier Pearl Jam, the band eschews the vacuum cleaner-like death metal vocals popular with many of its contemporaries in favor of clearly audible lyrics, strong melodicism and spot-on harmonies. More accessible than the band's previous efforts, yet never lacking in sheer metal power, YEAR OF THE SPIDER delivers enough gut-wrenching minor-key riffs and heartache-filled tunefulness to satisfy a detention room full of both casual rock fans and dour teenage headbangers.
