Success Will Write Apocalypse Across The Sky
The Grand Partition, And The Abrogation Of Idolatry
Nuclear Blast/Riot! 7/10
I’d make a witty remark about this band’s name but I’m going to assume that anyone reading this has already uttered the words: “What the fuck?” That aside, The Grand Partition And The Abrogation Of Idolatry is a fairly impressive affair, one that pays homage to the band’s Floridian death metal roots whilst incorporating a healthy dose of modern grind and metalcore (see chugging breakdowns). Although I’m not entirely convinced that SWWAATS need a designated member to rock the sampler/media (um, what?), these guys and gal have done enough to give themselves some kind of staying power. Hopefully they’ve got enough fresh ideas to make it to album number two.
