Six Reasons to Kill - Architects of Perfection
When it comes to Metalcore, the Germans don’t give a fuck. They didn’t start doing it just because it was cool to, and they’re not going to stop doing it just because it isn’t cool anymore. Some would say they are the best at it and I have a hard time arguing that whenever I’m in the midst of an album like the new Six Reasons to Kill. Somehow it’s been eleven years since I last heard anything from these guys, but Architects of Perfection essentially picks up right where the impressive 2000 debut Kiss the Demon left off. It has everything a German Metalcore album should. The abrasive harshness and unrefined passion of Heaven Shall Burn, the brutal beatdowns of early Maroon, and the depressive melodies that bring back memories of a beautiful time when everyone was trying to out-sad Poison the Well. The clean vocals on “My Poison” threw me at first, but now it’s my favorite cut. It’s a pure anthem once you give it a chance. I can think of a lot more reasons to kill than six, but I couldn’t name you a better Metalcore album in 2011 so far.
