Carcer City are a five piece hardcore metal band
from England and they have a big tub thumping heavy
riff-tastic sound which in places sounds like a
massive stampede of Elephants are charging at you
think of bands like Job For A Cowboy and The Eyes
Of A Traitor and you will be close to understanding
the sound of Carcer City before you have even heard
them.
The band’s debut album ‘The Life
We Have Chosen’ has just been released through
Transcend Records and it is one heavy album with
brutal instrumental work and extremely angry sounding
vocals which do become melodic in places but the
melodic moments are very few and not that often.
The album opens with ‘The Escapist’
the song is full of heavy growls and skull pounding
guitar riffs, it’s all fast and angry sounding
and to be honest this is pretty much how the whole
album rolls not just the opening track.
There are some solid moments within the album
such as the brutal ‘The Walls That Divide’,
the mind blowing ‘Signals’ and even
the closing track ‘A Prisoner To The Years’
with its heavy formula and well placed breakdowns,
but on the downside of the album it all comes
across to samey and the sound Carcer City have
is more suited to the live circuit rather than
record.
3/5
