5.0 out of 5 stars syracuse hardcore hits the masses, November 15, 2004

By	EddieJustDied (Florida) - See all my reviews

im going to put it to you plain and simple...
anything named after one of the most brutal and bizarre serial killers known to man.

this syracuse 3 man band amplifies pulse-pounding riffs with an entourage of screams and off-beat riffs. with no lead singer in the band, all three produce a carcophany to be reckoned with.

with audio from the critically acclaimed movie, "Donnie Darko" it gives the album a sense of twisted irony with songs such as, "You Suck At Life And Im Not Talking About The Board Game".."Nice Shoes...Wanna F**k?" and "Score One For The Team B**ch"...a definate recommend for hxc kids all around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witchian Metal Died Alongside Papa Roach, September 26, 2006

By	D. Miller "Hardcore Enthusiast" (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Headbanger? Intense Headbanger? Insane Headbanger with no classifications?

Buy this album and try it on for size

Ed Gein's debut is a bracing triple shot of luminously onerous bass & guitar riffage multiplied into a double kick extravaganza. Surged atop deafening and occasionally revolting screams from all three members. making for some righteously racous hardcore music. While many will be disgusted by this affair, there are many who adore it. This album differs highly from their sophomore release, as this one is a very intense lap of smothering hardcore, the differences are very obvious.

The lyrics are very blunt and irate, which I find as a refreshing read when compared to the infinitely popular ex-girlfriend lashings most hardcore lyrics are.

while selective, there are always a base of fans who will find soemthing this crazy to be defining, as I did.

Don't take anything a "Witchian Metalhead" says about technical hardcore to the bank, you're bound to be disappointed, trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ed Gein should make themselves known!, January 7, 2005

By	"agoodperson666" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I 1st heard of this amzing band through a book about the serial killer ED GEIN. This band should definitly make themselves known, the music is so good and it's such fun to listen to! Turn this sh-t up at your next party (f-ck the Snoop Dog and Usher!) and you'll be having heads bangin off the freakin ceiling. This is great-crazy-hardcore-metal that really makes you wanna scream and rip somin apart. I also like the track where it's Donnie Darko insulting the kiddie [...] dudes book. If you've seen the movie, you know what i mean.
LONG LIVE THE GEIN!
