Heavy as hell music !!! This is what the guys in Tread do !! But their music is very melodic at the same time, specially on the great vocals by Chad (watch for this guy in the future because he can be subtle when he wants and extremely heavy when he likes to. He is really versatile. The music here is modern metal at its best...in the vein of bands like Fear Factory, Machine Head or Grip Inc or even some Deftones. This guys crush you with their extremely heavy guitars and their monolithic sound. The twelve tracks here have no mercy for the listener...they are designed to make him mosh, jump, destroy !!!! They have a lot of climatic moments too where the vocals are softer and deeper and comunicatedifferent feelings than the ones in the heavier parts. I think this is an excellent band...and maybe we will see them being successful one of this days. Favorite Tracks: "What U Are", "Destroying My Enemy" and "Delusional Fornication".
