Slipknot grandfathered this genre, and Corey's son fucking shredding his reputation with awful music and lyrics. It's like he listens to Vol 3 before thinking to sing.

Honestly I'm not a fan of either band. They both wright lyrics for 14 year olds. They seem fitting. Funny the son doesn't want to be in his father's shadow but sings in a similar style to him.

"Paint the Skin" has a lot of similarities to Chthonic's "Sing Ling Temple"; that's a little far from the band I was expecting to hear, but not unwelcome, and it gave me something intriguing to start the album with. The more the album went on the more I realized the degree of consanguinity Mirror Of Retribution-era Chthonic shared with nu metal (fortunately still not as much as all its other styles).

There's obviously a lot of Slipknot in the sound: the meatiness and prominence of the drums and the acrid bite of the guitars could come from nowhere else, and the vocals are both similar to and largely modeled on Corey Taylor. Even if there were no literal familial relation to speak of, I'd still be hearing plenty of Slipknot, as well as Soulfly, Korn, and however many other similar bands you like. I don't dislike that sound - the drums are one of the best parts of Slipknot and I love the general approach even if Vended don't have quite the chops or ingenuity (or as many drummers) to harness it in the same way, and this album actually veers away from some of my less favorite of Slipknot's writing tendencies to go a little more conventional/mainstream. It does come out feeling like another Slipknot disciple equally influenced by all the bands that Slipknot themselves influenced, but I don't hate that. I rarely pay attention to the lyrics, so while I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they don't offer much intellectual benefit, they usually don't impede my enjoyment.

Overall, this has the character of a more streamlined and modern Slipknot album - hardly a bad thing in my book, though if Vended are so bent on avoiding the comparison, the solution is to simply not write music that sounds like this and not perform and produce it in this exact manner.
