Carry the Torch are yet another over-emotional hardcore band that play fast, somewhat tuneful, a little bit metal, and quite moshable hardcore. The one-sheet says they would appease the fans of Strongarm, Cave In, and Taken when in actuality they only had to mention Shai Hulud since Carry the Torch tries to do their best of impression of A Profound Hatred of Man.
Dead Weather isn't horrible by any means, just I've had enough of this style of hardcore as of late. Good for what it is, but what it is, I'm not interested. However if you like slightly metallic hardcore with those cute little guitar leads and enough spinkick parts to offset a Jet Li film, then you will be all over this, mosh-a-manic.
