Subzero
from New York have existed since 1989 and released just one album ten
years ago. Lo and behold, now it’s the great metalcore wake, and here
comes a comeback album.
By
the sound of it, Subzero’s an experienced lot. Like label mates
Hatesphere they play a hardcore/metal hybrid, although with the main
focus on hardcore, whereas the Danes are more metal. Being more of a
metal person myself, I find it hard to really get into “The Suffering
of Man”, although I appreciate the energy, thrashy parts and the
variation that the album does offer (considering the fact that this is
hardcore).
I
have to admit that I never was a big fan of the hardcore vocal style and
this is indeed dominant on this release. Give me Hatesphere any day.
Next.
