Which is where we come in. You'd think with an inside joke of a name like Ambassador Gun and artwork featuring a tranquil ocean superimposed with an ornate business card, that if this band is getting reviewed on CoC they are most likely either post-metal or some kind of an artsy doom/drone project. Wrong on both counts. Basically what we have here is a high energy yet underdeveloped bedrock of blistering grind supported by a topsoil of thrash riffs and metalcore vocals. I wish I could say that any of it really sticks with you, but even after four or five spins, this still sounds cluttered and never really picks up any forward momentum. You could set your CD player on shuffle and the resulting play list would make just as much sense as the official sequencing. There isn't anything apparent wrong with the individual elements here, and the energy level is commendable, but there exists a palpable lack of band chemistry that prevents Ambassador Gun from contending in today's highly competitive extreme metal market. Was that diplomatic enough?
