Animassacre - Shi No Sedai

For another example of bands utilizing current technology to get their music out, we introduce Animassacre. One of the few bands to quickly offer a free EP on the new VampireFreaks Digital Music Store, the band did an excellent job of putting together a few original tracks and remixes to offer potential new fans a sampling of their product.

The first thing that strikes the listener is some much-welcomed originality of their music. Self-described as "industrial hardcore", Animassacre goes beyond the basic definition of their genre and incorporates a broad range of influence, as seen in the band's melding of anime visuals with hardcore sensibilities.

While the EP as whole offers a good blend of creativity, the standout song here is the title track, Shi No Sedai. This track is a perfect example of the masterful control of high energy the band brings to the table. A song with such thump and power can easily run away with itself, but Animassacre keeps the track under the reigns, belaying the raw energy in their creations.
