“Things Of Flesh And Blood” may be Lost Department’s debut full-length but these guys sound like they’ve been going at it for years. Picking up where they left off with their EP, they throw punk, hardcore, metalcore and even some proggy parts together in the blender and end up with a convincing batch of songs. The mix of screams and clean vocals actually works for them and they radiate energy. The guitarists know how to handle their instruments and the magical hands of producer Ace Zec do the rest.
The opening track is a bouncy, beefed up punkrock song, the title track (with guest vocals by Channel Zero’s Franky DSVD) is more metal and made me think of “The Sound Of White Noise” era Anthrax and “Sickface Sidesmile” is straight up nasty metalcore. It’s that variation that keeps things interesting all the way to closing track “A.F.B.I.A.”. Nice job!
Score: 7 out of 10
