Lately I've been listening to this album out of my 'metallic hardcore' collection.

It's very good. Especially the vocals.

In previous reviews people have noted this album's great "screams". It's important to note that there are not any screams on this album.

The vocals in this album are death growls, you silly people.

Though the riffs are heavily gothenburg inspired (as in, yeah, sounds like As I Lay Dying), their own style constantly bleeds through (666 is really un-gothenburg for example) and it sounds better than all AILD clones.

Hell, in my opinion, they sound better than AILD.

What puts them above and beyond? The vocals. I applaud Ed Butcher's preformence and style; his growls perfectly fit their deathcore.

I myself was like, "Wait, what? These aren't screams... I think..."

And they aren't. He growls in the same fashion that one would scream on a regular metalcore samefest. You'd think someone else would have done that by now, but most deathcore embraces the death more than the core.

I Killed The Prom Queen embraces the core first with amazing results, like the drumming (which is always clever and very much hardcore).

Though the riffs sound generic at times (very few times, I assure you) their entire sound is not one worth missing.

4.5 stars out of 5 (rounded up).

Some may call this band a typical metalcore release and what not, but honestly, I Killed the Prom Queen is a great band. The lead vocalist has one of the best screams in the business and the breakdowns just knock you right out.

They may not be the best ever, but this is a very solid release. To bad they broke up :(
