Homeland Insecurity opens with up-tempo drumming and deep growls that feel like they head absolutely no where. The song is a wash of boredom with almost no diversions from the standard metalcore triplets and palm muted chords underneath and sadly, this album doesn't stray too far form the formula after that.

The clean singing on this album is solid and some of the lead work during the choruses (""A Taste of Everest"") is solid but the band just never does anything new which seems to be a growing trend amongst Victory bands.

If you've heard Still Remains, Silverstein or It Dies Today... you've pretty much heard everything this band has to offer now, sadly.

To be honest, had they stayed mostly in the direction of their single ""Single and Loving It"" the disc would have been much more enjoyable! Otherwise, you can pass on this one!

Not a bad metal album,but a metal album maby on the more youthful side of the scene. Maby with a little more guidence from some experienced production and vets in the industry they could diversify speed of and heavy the sound a bit. you dont have to scream through a whole damn song to make a goddam point that your angst ridden. Music stucture was good. sound even. But i stop at three stars.

This is a great album, sounds a little like old Silverstein. i was quite happy with this bands release.

This is a good disc if you like the current punk/metal scene. Of course we all know real punk is dead, but this album mixes remnants of hardcore punk with new metal. Overall a good listen.

If your familiar with todays music then you've already heard this album a thousand times before.. and probably a lot better done. There is not an ounce of originality to be found on Endwell's debut. They seem content to pound you over and over with their formula of deep Atreyu-esque growlscreams alongside Hawthorn-esque singing. I think even people who live and breath this kind of music will have difficulty putting it anywhere but on the bottom of their list.

Look elsewhere for your hardcore fix.. this ones nothing special.
A few suggestions..

Nuclear.Sad.Nuclear. - The #12 Looks Like You
Between the Heart and the Synapse - The Receiving End of Sirens

My cousin Double Dan Puglisi is the lead guitar player in this awesome addition to the Metalcore, Scremo scene. They are a really tight group of guys who are extremely good at what they do. They are brutaly heavy yet melodic at the same time. Fans of the genre will not be dissapointed and found craving for more. This album rocks, and their live shows are amazing as well.

There is a great video for their first single "Single And Loving It" on Youtube. Go check it out!!!!

Endwell is a talented group of guys that put there heart into there music. Give them a listen and Buy the album!!!

P.S.- Dan if your reading this, congrats!!!
