Their latest offering, <i>\u2018Stop Being Naive\u2019<\/i> expands on the sounds they explored on last years <i>\u2018Slick\u2019,<\/i> and they do it in filthy fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Album opener <i>\u2018Malcontents\u2019<\/i> has one of the heaviest riffs of the year which takes you on an audible trip and whacks you around the face when the final riff comes. This band definitely isn\u2019t playing games. <i>\u2018The Climb\u2019<\/i> opens with creepy vocals and chunky guitars that scream of the influence of Melvins and Faith No More. As a result, this lumbering track is a surefire highlight of the album.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018Traitor\u2019s Gate\u2019<\/i> comes at you with a stonking bass line that oozes sludge. After the feedback subsides, the drums and guitar kick in and your ears are blown to smithereens by the sheer magnitude of the music. A stylistic shift occurs on <i>\u2018Big Joke\u2019<\/i>. The melodic guitar gives the listener an eerie introduction to the song and ends up as a thunderous slab of noise. The heaviness is reined in on <i>\u2018P.Irving\u2019<\/i> which is a noisy affair that hones the off-kilter approach to songwriting of The Dillinger Escape Plan, but adds a touch of Steve Albini-esque vitriol, creating an Avant-Garde rager.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"UNDER - Traitor&#039;s Gate (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kYsiGYCtpE0?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018Happy\u2019 i<\/i>s guaranteed to make you mosh around your living room. It is reminiscent of Every Time I Die and their slamming breakdowns. The song ends on a psychedelic note, which along with the erratic hardcore sound, adds more layers to this already eclectic canvas.<\/p>\n<p>For underground bands these days, it\u2019s hard to set yourself apart from your contemporaries, but <b>Under<\/b> have done it in grandiose fashion. <i>\u2018Stop Being Naive\u2019<\/i> is a sonic assault to the senses that pummels you with a cacophony of genres.
