City Of New York (released 2005)
Self Produced
Seizure crypt play a style of hardcore, that is a blend of rock, metal and hardcore punk sensibilities. Compiled together, these ingrediants make an explosive album of sharp shouting vocals, moody guitars and a smashing rhythm section. Throughotu this seven track disc, Seizure Crypt doesn't take their foot off of the accelerator...the disc is fist pumping and head swinging throughout. Sounding very similar to SOS (NYC), it's obvious that the creative mind of Mike SOS is involved in this project. I'm not sure if this is a side project, and meant as a one off, or if the band plans to be together for some time to come. As this is the band's debut disc, and if it is any indication of what we can expect in the future...expect big things! Seizure Crypt are aggressive enough to appeal to both metal heads and open minded punkers, but still can bring in a mainstream appeal that could have them featured on many rock stations across the country. The influence of metal is clear in most of the tracks, but the underlying hardcore and punk is what drags me into the band's offering here. I find myself wanting, and focusing in, on these potential attributes. As they almost bring the band into a grind-core sound, reminescent of crust, grind, street punk band Toxic Narcotic. I think it will only be a matter of time before Seizure Crypt achieves the same status of Toxic Narcotic; they are right on the cusp! -MG |
