Deadly Circus Fire - The Hydra’s Fire

Deadly circus Fire are being dscribed by Metal Hammer (UK) as “one of the most imaginative and formidable” prog bands currently plying their trade. Hardly says I. An amalgam of heavy guitars and various over processed vocals with section that have different time signatures for sure but sound more like a mash-up of Tool, Mastodon and Deftones, sounds more like a messy attempt to sound current. Turning heads at publication like Metal Hammer, as well as Classic Rock, means that you’ve hired a good publicist and paid him/her a good deal of money so that the said magazines make an “editorial decision” to not exclude you from their reviews. I’m waiting to see when these also runs will make this big promising career of theirs as their publicist predicts.
 
Generic, modern metal without any identity with most tracks sounding almost identical. Well if i had to make a choice the opener “In Darkness We Trust”, which is quirkier and the one-two salvo of “Rise Again” and “Martyrs|House of Pleagues” isn’t that terrible but... yeah, only readers of the British toilet paper magazines could be duped into investing into all these generic bands that are more image than music conscious.
