Album Review

For The Love Of-Feasting On The Will Of Humanity

For The Love Of is a metalcore band from Colonia, New Jersey. This album came out in 1998 and was released by Ferret Music. I never heard this album when it originally came out. I actually only heard this album a couple of years ago. I had always heard about the scary looking album covers and the infamous live shows. People always talked about how legendary For The Love Of and this album were. So a couple of years a go after hearing this album what I can say is all of the hype was justified. This is an amazing album and a legendary band. This is a crazed frenzy of an album that takes you for a wild ride. It has these beatdown style hardcore breakdowns that must have made a For The Love Of mosh pit totally ballistic. We have crunchy guitar work here and epic high pitched vocals that set the standard for many metalcore bands. For The Love Of has become a very influential band in the hardcore scene. This album still sounds current today. But it creates this feeling that it is lurching out to get you and pick you off one by one. We have fast blasting drums that are ready to lay down the gauntlet. Also some nice technical guitar riffing appears on this album. The singers screaming and growling vocals just feel like he wants to shake you and squeeze you until you can understand what he is saying. But his vocals are impossible to understand so he will probably end up choking you. This album is like a game of cat and mouse but both the cat and the mouse are strapped with guns. We have a definite hardcore feel to this album. But it is still a metalcore album with this being a very evil sounding album. It is like you are being stalked by a deranged killer but the only thing you have to hide behind is just your own computer. This album feels like a real life horror movie filled will psycho killers and ghastly ghouls from beyond. This album is intense from start to finish. It is really heavy and has a ton of speed to it also. This is a classic album and For The Love Of is a classic band. I highly recommend this album. So check it out.     Thanks Kevin
