Ashes of Your Enemy The Undying
By Mike SOS
The members of New Jersey hybrid metal squad Ashes of Your Enemy are seasoned vets who have spent time on the local circuit with other bands before joining forces on this project that mixes modern thrash with metalcore ruggedness. The Undying, this quintet's 10-track debut, heavily borrows from the Pantera/Lamb of God playbook for much of the disc, but does make some interesting diversions along the way to keep tracks like "Living Sacrifice" away from being labeled as a mere copycat. Projecting a Propain-like cadence ("Age of Suffering") while channeling the type of aggression reserved for bands like Soil and Sevendust ("Surrender"), this one is for dudes and chicks that enjoy modern hard and heavy metal with a melodic twist and tons of memorable hooks.
