1. The Acacia Strain - Continent (2008)
You know how I spend a lot of time discussing my distaste for many a deathcore band? Well, consider this band one of those outlaws who contend for the title of most distasteful. Continent is full of uninspired, monotone growls on top of a bit more crunchy metalcore [...]
Welcome to a new featue here at All Metal Resource. The Underground Forgotten will feature albums, EP’s and demos that were instrumental to the metal sound but have been largely forgotten about or even disregarded despite their impact on the modern metal landscape. To begin with, we feature P.O.D. (Payable on Death) and their first [...]
