5.0 out of 5 stars The new wave of Bay Area metal, November 12, 2005

My first exposure to Animosity was at a show in San Francisco, where they opened for some well-known metal acts. Not only was the place packed, the band had turned damn near half the room into a mosh pit. Onstage were five guys that looked barely old enough to drive, but they were crunching out blastbeats and neck-snapping breakdowns like there was no tomorrow. This album, Animosity's second, is the first that truly captures their sound. The band mixes technical death metal, thrash, hardcore, and even out-of-nowhere bluesy riffs into one big ball of fury. Singer Leo Miller switches fluidly between death growls and midrange rasps, the performances are tight and concise, and the production is clear and heavy. Getting beat down by a bunch of teenagers never felt so good.

$2 used for this CD! Don't waste a second if you love death metal at all. The CD is seriously underated with crazy riffs throughout. The vocals are nothing special but who cares, the music is top notch. Buy it immediately!

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS Is F*cking Bay Brutality!, July 9, 2006

Good lord. Animosity is one hell of an amazing band. I actually got a chance to see them with Cattle Decapitation/From A Second Story Window/Misery Index/Job For A Cowboy (not on Amazon), and look at their singer for a second. He delivers like no other! And the music is amazing technical deathgrind that will punch you in the face and you won't know what hit you!

Whether it's "Manhunt" with its intro blastbeat and bass line thrown in, or the chug-chug mood of "Thieves", or the anthem track "The Black Page", you're in for a treat. And the plus is that it gets good distribution and only costs about $10! But it's worth it damnit!
