7 Angels 7 Plagues

Jhazmine's Lullaby never really got into the regular rotation in my CD player, but maybe that's because I discovered it too late. This CD is one that represents the epitome of metalcore in the early 21st century, along with Nora, old 18V, and Converge's Petitioning the Empty Sky. Considering all the alternatives available today, this CD may not have the highest of replay value, but it IS the roots of metalcore, and if you listen closely, I'm sure you'll be able to find a riff or two that your favorite band ripped off from them.

Four Stars.

UTDBATSF... That's pretty long. Anyway, this EP contains three songs that are featured on Jhazmine's Lullaby, only with the old singer. The production quality isn't that great, but it kind of gives it a raw feel which actually works in their favor considering how coarse the vocals are. The one track that is not on Jhazmine's Lullaby is in my opinion 7A7P's best song. Since both of these albums are under the same link, definitely give it a check.

Three and a half stars.
