I absolutely hate this sort of new-school metallic hardcore, but I do appreciate the fact that the video has kids moshing it up in a grassy park in shorts and t-shirts. They look happy; I can appreciate that.

Interment is the kind of band that rules on first impression, but provides diminishing results thereafter. Contributor John Norby isn't wrong when he cites the band's adherence to the classic "Left hand path", it's just that I don't think they have enough memorable riffs to fill a full-length. They nail the style, not the substance. Anyhow, the band still slays in small doses, so check out a track (and just one, mind you) and get stoked.
