Dead by Wednesday: The Killing Project
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Pawns — The killing project — Liberty — Chosen — Violent tradition — Declaration of inhumanity — Another word — Break the walls — Part of me — Society's blood — Restitution — Araroba (Death of the cure) — Fractured.
Brian LaRue wrote in the New Haven Advocate: "At first listen, this often-blisteringly heavy album owes a great deal to hardcore and metal tropes from the '80s, but this stuff isn't simple crossover-revivalist in nature. The breakdowns call to mind contemporary metalcore and vocal cadences betray the influence of hip-hop MCs, but there are surprising elements like clear voices harmonizing and passages played on acoustic guitar. And it all feels of a piece — divergences from their screamy, riffy, thrashy base layer sound complementary and purposeful. The riffs are new twists on a familiar form. … There's a wise balance of accessibility and adventurousness in Dead by Wednesday's heavy rebel-rock fusion. Nothing weird or avant-garde here, but plenty to elevate it beyond simple mosh-fodder" ("Local CDs," 1/8/09, p. 27).
