I was turned on to this band a few months back and every time I hear something new by them I feel like my personal definition of Metal get’s re-written. Reviewing Swallowing the Rabbit Whole was

The Hyena Kill – Bleached
Manchester based band The Hyena Kill released Bleached last year. It’s a banger, blending hardcore and alt rock to create something fairly unique.
The song starts off with some cleaner chords to
The Plot In You – Superbeast (Rob Zombie Cover)
Oh holy fuck these guys can jam out a cover like no one’s business. I love the original song so much but honestly, this is how it needed to be done. That vocal style is exactly what this song was lacking. The style is much darker and grittier almost but not quite a guttural growl, ok maybe more guttural than that. But it’s absolute perfection if you ask me. Some of the musical elements have been pumped up to match their vision of the song. The tempo and rhythm are the same but there are some tweaks here and there.
Dude, I need this song right the hell now on my playlist at home on my phone on my new radio show. I just need it! I want to take this version and throw it on a playlist with some other heavy hitting songs by Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, BFMV, and FFDP. Oh Jesus please us, I can hear that list now. I think my neighbors are going to have my guts in the morning. But I couldn’t care less… this is happening people.

Downfall – Divinity
Oh my lord yes please! I love the hard core musical action that kicks you in the stones right off the bat. That drum line makes me wanna mosh like a mofo! Those screaming vocals remind me so much of the song ‘Sugar’ by System of a Down or maybe just about any Static X song ever.. Then there is that gun cock sound they use in the perfect way. I’m so digging on the guitar work, so tight but there is this awesome feel of reckless abandon that I get from it. Mixing those clean and screaming vocals then bringing in some harmonies in that bridge was a genius idea. It’s definitely got some art rock flair to it, but I would certainly call this metal heaven.
Can I have some more right now please? I wanna put this on my hateful playlist and turn up my speakers to 11 just to piss off my neighbors. The song itself is an all go no quit powerhouse that fans of metal are going to go ape over. I can’t think of any metal acts that you couldn’t pair this with. Just get it and you can thank me later.

Why I Like Them: So here we have the illegitimate child of Static X and Sepultura. This song has a truly breakneck speed with some thundering double bass through the majority of the song. The vocals were incredible. But then I have a lot of respect for singers that can get all growly/screaming with it. Of the thrash bands I’ve listened to the subtle break in the speed is an anomaly. I can’t say that I didn’t like it, cause I did. I found it to be an interesting twist to thrash music. I would just like to know if you get a free lifetime supply of throat lozenges when you start doing that rad ass screamy/growly thing.
