New Reviews: Crime in Stereo, Trap Them, Behead the Lamb
Crime In Stereo - Selective Wreckage [Bridge 9]
I remember getting a Crime in Stereo CD for review years ago on a different incarnation of this site and thinking it was going to be some wack pop
punk shit since it was on Nitro Records and the band name is kind of silly, but I was pleasantly surprised by it, though it was only three songs. This
Selective Wreckage disc collects stuff from various released and unreleased recordings and it's a small mircale, but I still think this band is great,
even if I've yet to hear a proper full length release.

Trap Them - Seizures in Barren Praise [Deathwish]
Trap Them vocalist Ryan Mckenney's previous band Backstabbers Incorporated was, in my opinion, one of the best and most overlooked bands of this
decade. They had a vicious sound that melded unrelenting hardcore with slight metal influences but most importantly, it always managed to come out
fresh and modern, as if this was the direction Hardcore should be going. Unfortunately (or most likely very fortunately) no one really looked at them
as trendsetters so their style wasn't aped too much, if at all. Backstabbers never put out a bad release and Trap Them continues that trend.

Behead The Lamb - Messiahlation [Trip Machine]
I'm not really on the up and up when it comes to current death metal, so if it's not on a Behemoth record, I'm probably not going to hear it, but I
think Behead The Lamb are some kind of throwback to when bands referred to themselves as "Deathcore", or in other words, chuggy Death Metal bands that
ended up playing more hardcore shows than actual death metal shows.
