En Love / Rabbit split EP
EN LOVE continues their hardcore-forward approach, tearing through two tracks of mosh-worthy mayhem. Capturing the energy of their powerful live presence, these songs are a step forward from their demo, which was quite good. Brutal but not evil. RABBIT is brutal and evil. To the untrained ear, their two songs sound like run-of-the-mill metalcore…and I do have an untrained ear in this case. They’re tight, heavy, and scary-sounding, but it rings somewhat hollow to me, talent notwithstanding. Perhaps it’s stylistic preference, but EN LOVE burns brighter in this pairing.
