Bucket Full Of Teeth - IV

When it comes to heavy music, a band really has to open their record with enough power and talent to grab my attention and make me give a shit. Converge managed it with their “Jane Doe” records opener “Concubine” as did Slayer with “Angel Of Death” and 400 Blows did with “The root Of Our Nature”, if violent heavy bands can completely catch me by surprise and then maintain my interest throughout a forty minute record then they have my respect. Well being added to the list of heavy music worth your attention is harsh as hell screamo act Bucket Full Of Teeth.

For this records entire duration I was gripped, the technicality of their music shows talent without being pretentious. The more melody based moments are slightly generic but are usually made up for by the huge power based moments that follow. The vocals are entirely screamed out with little to no singing at all but the bands screamer is more than cut out for the job and manages to maintain a sense of control and formula through his throaty yelps. His screams seem to ground the guitars and prevent them from becoming too indulgent and over the top. All in all each element of Bucket Full Of Teeth seems to control the others and make for a well composed and interesting screamo record.
