CoC : Fightcast - Breeding a Divinity : Review

Fightcast - _Breeding a Divinity_
(Kolony Records, 2008)
by: Quentin Kalis (6 out of 10)

Newcomers Fightcast burst forth from their corner, ready to take on the heavyweights of metalcore. Despite a prolonged attempt, they present an unremarkable jab at the genre, albeit with a greater dose of Swedish melody than their tattooed brethren. The grooving melodies are not particularly engaging, and the same goes for the breakdowns. The clean vocals are horrible, but off-key vocals are the standard for this style. Even worse than the vocals is the presumably experimental electronic rubbish that ends the album, the very definition of filler. Maybe they will improve on their sophomore effort, but they are down for the count in this round.
