There are no silly clean vocals here -- there's simply no place that they could fit in; it's not as if _Lifeless_ is overflowing with melodies stolen from melodeath. There's no shortage of breakdowns and they do get a groove going on occasion. A couple of samples are used (including one that I sadly recognised from the mediocre teen comedy "Road Trip") and I suspect that these sexually charged samples stemmed from the brutal death and grind influence. Literally two are used and hopefully none will be used in future as they are an unnecessary distraction and add nothing to the songs, which on balance are fairly solid with a touch of technical expertise. This is not the strongest debut ever -- far from it -- but it's nothing to be embarrassed about either and bodes well for these newcomers.
