Massacre Records (2011)

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as blackcore, but if there is, We Are The Damned would represent the genre quite well. I would call them blackcore Ministry. Most of "Holy Beast" consists of black metal background and schrieks encased in hardcore riffing. This makes for a very monotonous listen and I would definitely NOT recommend as driving music on your 70 mile ride home from a 12 hour work shift at night, for an obvious reason, that your ass needs to stay actually AWAKE. Yet toward the end, the band gets creative on some 3 songs. Too little, too late, my car is already over the cliff and on fire. Thanks. If the next CD focuses on these rare jewels of creativity for inspiration it will be more but today it's only halfway up the scoring ladder.
