5.0 out of 5 stars Metal-core at its best..., October 14, 2004

By	Angelofdarkness666 (Hell) - See all my reviews

I was blown away when i first listing to the band a perfect murder's "unbroken" because of their sound... It rimends me of the old metallica,pantera,and,hatebreed all blending in together. All the songs are brutal and very much agressive beyond words can truly express. Amazing lirycs,production, sound, and, energy as well as how talent " a perfect murder" realy is with not one weak track to be found, in the whole album. I recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore with that metallic punch, September 22, 2004

By	Modern Fix (United States) - See all my reviews

Hatebreed hardcore if you will. The singer has a more aggressive bark and the guitars hit an almost thrash metal speed at times. But the hardcore chuggachugga and stark breakdowns bring this all back into the core pit territory. When A Perfect Murder slows things down to a sludgy crawl, the bass rumbles through with more clarity and the unit strikes with a more forceful impact. When the music speeds up, it's just good hardcore with the metal influence. Lots of that around nowadays. A Perfect Murder make a good dent in the genre by taking the roots of hardcore and bringing in the thrash guitar, the aforementioned sluggish drawn out punch and the slick guitar break (and even the occasional more rock influenced solo). Then dose it with plenty of those pit swirling breakdowns where the whole song pulls itself into one big riff and just pounds through the listener. File as another of those bands that doesn't really bring that much new to the hardcore table, but what they do bring is well done and worth a listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars More solid work for A Perfect Murder, September 1, 2004

By	Frankenchrist "Minor Threat" (USA) - See all my reviews

Once again, Victory Records has captured another talented hardcore based band with a huge penchant for endlessly precise metallic posing. This Montreal, Canada based band has used the hardcore aggression as the groundwork for an album that specialized in the chug and thunder of metal. Paying special attention to the detailed nature of metal, A PERFECT MURDER gives you everything you want in a metal album laced with uncovered riffs, especially poignant leads and the always fitting heavy handed baselines. They have the deep tone of CROWBAR with the accuracy of PANTARA and just a touch of thrash that round out a tremendous overall sound. Before the insurgence of labeling everything with a genre specific tag, there was just metal; this is exactly what this record was-metal. And it kicked some serious ass. Three tracks in particular stood out of an already great record. They were "Possessed", "No Trace" and "Die With Regret." They represented all the astounding qualities of a band that is sure to generate a respectful fan base in the coming year.
