The Eyes Of A Traitor-Breathless

Listenable Records 2010

The Eyes Of A Traitor present us with Breathless which is the group's second full length release. For those not in the know these young lads hail from Britain and play some brutal metalcore. Breathless leaves you feeling breathless. Full of Killswitch Engage breakdowns and machine gun drumming Breathless is almost 40 minutes of blood on the dance floor fury. "Come To My Senses" was everything I love about good metalcore. Fast guitars, barking vocals and only a touch of clean vocals. Blame Killswitch Engage for that trend if you must but when it works it works like on "The Real You" which is heavy enough to peel paint off of a wall. Motorhead once said they wanted to be the band that if they moved in next to you your grass would die. If The Eyes Of A Traitor moved in next to you your house would collapse! "Talk Of The Town" is almost death metal in it's delivery while "Nothing To Offer" allows the band to show off some great guitar playing. The title track is in the gutter hardcore. Broken beer bottles and bones hardcore. By the time the closer "Grounded" comes on it feels like you've been hit by a blitzkrieg. These guys are not kidding around. Feel the urge to break things?If you answered yes then Breathless just might be for you.
