The Caitiff Choir

In the ever so popular growing genre of Metalcore it's really hard to find any more bands that tend to stick out, and make their definite mark in the genre. It Dies Today stands out just a little bit from the rest, but they have a lot of room to improve on their next CD.

The Caitiff Choir is a pretty good album as a whole, but just isn't as heavy as their previous music, and is often way too emo at times. Their are a few songs that make up for the albums lack in 'heavy' and that would be the opener song 'My Promise' and moving down the list to 'A Threnody For Modern Romance'.

Talent wise, the music and the harsh screaming and soft singing are their, but they just don't mesh as well as they could have (like they did on previous CD's). I don't know if It Dies Today got lazy and just wanted to make a few quick bucks, or if they have just decided to tone down their music, because thats what they wanted to do... but somthing about this album just doesn't quite give you the full It Dies Today experience that they are capable of offering.

Good album, great band, a CD worth picking up by any It Dies Today fan, and looked into by any Metalcore fan.

Songs to look for :
1. My Promise
2. A Threnody For Modern Romance
3. Severed Ties Yield Severed Heads
4. The Radiance
5. The Depravity Waltz
