Connecticut’s Dead By Wednesday is back with their first new album since 2006’s “Democracy Is Dead” (out on Stillborn Records). With every single band that drops a release on Stillborn, I find it hard not to compare them in some way to Hatebreed. But not so with these guys. Hell, they are all over the board.
On “The Killing Project” these guys dish out a dozen songs that mix influences from hardcore, thrash, metal and punk into one messy whole. At times it also reminded me of a bunch of nu metal bands like Mushroomhead and Mudvayne. Not sure if that’s such a good thing but hey… they go for a System Of A Down vibe as well here and there and that’s never a bad thing when done right.
Dead By Wednesday is pretty much a straight-forward, blow-to-the-face kinda band that released a solid album that isn’t doing anything new but can stand on its own two feet just fine.
Score: 6 out of 10
