“Giles” continues on in the same style with more Gothic lyrics and frenetic musical changes highlighted by superlative percussion parts contributed by Mike Justian. The musical parts of the song are played at high speed with machine gun drumming, thundering bass and super crunchy guitar all more than adeptly executed. Yet there is no discernable melody to accompany them and they are spewed out like diatribes from a schizophrenic who forgot to take his Thorazine.

The well-crafted lyrics are cryptically poetic in the vein of Edgar Allen Poe. III: In the Eyes of Fire begins with “This Glorious Nightmare” that assaults the musical senses like a shock and awe air strike. According to Wikipedia, metalcore musicians trade traditional verse-chorus songwriting in favor of breakdowns “slowing a song down, giving the guitars room to play a set of rhythmically oriented riffs, usually on open strings to achieve the lowest sound for which the guitars are tuned.” They define metalcore music as “A musical genre consisting of a mix between heavy metal and hardcore punk.” This hybrid of metal and punk was born in the 1980’s and proliferated by musical luminaries such as Nuclear Assault, Maximum Penalty, Biohazard and Raw Deal. And remember kiddies, knowledge is power. I have recently become a fan of Wikipedia, which has information regarding any damn subject you want to know about.
