Life Cried - Drawn And Quartered

Somehow in the misery of fighting an ongoing virus, I managed to drag my sorry self to Freaks United '06 over the fourth of July at Alchemy at Nation. I mean, with such names as Terrorfakt, Informatik and Chemlab on the list, how could I not, really? Being so sick, I didn't stay too late...but after seeing the ultimate performance put on by Life Cried, I definitely got my money's worth.

And speaking of getting my money's worth, I instantly snagged myself a copy of Life Cried's recent album, not wanting to let go of the band's hold on my attention anytime soon. "Drawn and Quartered" is an excellent piece of art, and is from start to finish a driving, thunderous album. Life Cried immediately seperates themselves from the stereotypical aggrotech/noise acts with decidely gothic intonations, as well as an overwhelming range of synth-dirived electronics.

Suggested Tracks:
"Hallowed Be Thy Name"
"Gaurdian"
"Stale"
"Waiting For An End"
