After The Burial are the latest entry in the whole tech-metal/death metal scene and on “Rareform” they prove they’ve got the technical skills to blend right in. The double bass blasts away merrily up to the point where I’m convinced that the drummer is still kicking that damn pedal in his sleep while the guitars are shredding and vocalist Grant Luoma is busy trying to find his way home by clawing his way through the songs, screaming, grunting, screeching and yelling.

There are plenty of parts to be found throughout the album’s eight songs that’ll blindside you - the same kinda parts that Between The Buried And Me like to throw in when you’re not looking - which gives the whole just that little bit extra. If you’re into this kinda mayhem, do the band and yourself a favor and pick up a copy of “Rareform”.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
