CoC : Know Fear - Know Fear : Review

Know Fear - _Know Fear_
by: Adrian Bromley (2 out of 5)

Nothing against Upstate New York act Know Fear, but after a few spins of their two-song demo I can't really see anything unique or different between what they do and the vast amount of death metal bands making up the music scene. You know? Heavy growls, blasting drum beats and headache-inducing guitar riffs -- it is all here! Sure some of the guitar playing is a bit flashier than what you might see in a death metal band, but the overall flow of the disc is pretty by the books if you ask me. Maybe there should have been more than two songs to help gauge this band's approach and style? The band is working on a new album as I type this -- titled _Meatgarden_ -- so let's hope they get past the formulaic sound and add some "meat" to their metal.
