Terminal Sick - Nothing More
Terminal Sick provide a healthy dose of fresh metalcore from the Italian scene. 'Nothing More' is the 2012 release pumped with plenty of beatdown hardcore variations, as well as technical riffs plundering against an array of a nu-metal ratio. The variety is nothing more than epic and brilliant to say the least.
Starting intro track 'Hibernation' is short, yet fulfils its task in boasting what Terminal Sick are capable of. Whereas second track within 'Red Eyes' evaluates the genre's proportion into something extraordinaire. By this I'm talking about the use of clean choruses, keyboard effects, and the heavy depths of the guitars. The clean vocals escalate into a higher pitch than most in the scene, and where some may complain and argue on this, I believe this factor of the music to eventually grow on the listener, as it did with me.
'Alive In Memory' proves as a stand-out from the majority, again shooting out waves of different genres never allowing the listener to grow bored. As the album progresses, the clean vocals not only grow on you, but you tend to accept them and realise it wouldn't be the same without them. The more important component, the screams, are of an excellent variety, definitely reminded me of metalcore legends Killswitch Engage when listening to 'Broken Family'.
Where hordes of core bands currently struggle to progress, Terminal Sick have that oldschool nu-metal vibe to give them an advantage. I could expect more of these nu metal influences on a future album, in which perhaps that could be the album to break Terminal Sick from the ever-growing circle of trend-core bands that they may be placed into. A categories hated by half of the metal population, however I wouldn't even call it a bad thing myself, perhaps its just the elitists might pick faults.
