A Light In The Attic / Takaru Split

There are a number of interesting sounds on this split. Takaru blend harsh melodies, grinding guitars, and full bore vocals together to create a catchy metallic sound. The solid tempos and slight change-ups give it a distinct hardcore sound. Though there is a good dose of metal here, Takaru are not a metal band. Instead they remind me of Union Of Uranus in a way. A Light In The Attic plays heavy modern hardcore with a few screamo elements. Overflowing with big, crashing elements, these songs push at your ears. Guitars moved through intricate, noisy, and melodic moments with a seamless quality that makes all these songs appealing. *
