Prevail is a brutal band with many rhythm changes on its music and utter heaviness in their riffs and drumming. One thing that got my attention while listening the first seconds of this CD was the really good sound that this recording has, specially on the drums that sound like bands of the style of Fear Factory or even Pantera (that have more money for production). Then comes the composition. This guys have here six brutal yet technical compositions with influences ranging from thrash metal to modern metal (in the sound, I liked a lot the clean bass sound doinfg slapping and popping in tracks like "Random Killers"). The riffs are twisted and are well developed merging one with the other like a natural progression. The singer is really versatile like a much more brutal Burton C. Bell but with a thrasher side. If you like brutality with quality, check Prevail.
Favorite tracks: "Murderer Song", "Random Killers" and "Human Virus"
