Empire State Bastard is the new project from Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil and Oceansize’s Mike Vennart. The duo have separately described the project as an attempt to "make the most fucking poisonous vile music [they] possibly could, just unabridged hatred in musical form"[/url], and their attempt at ‘grindcore extreme metal’. In actuality, Rivers Of Heresy isn’t as harsh and abrasive as these statements may suggest, but it’s still pretty aggressive compared with the bands they’ve made their names with.

I'm really struggling with this tbh. I'm sure that if I listen to it over and over again, there'll eventually be something that appeals to me about it, but for now I'm giving up

Why try to force yourself to like an album when there is so much other great music out there? If it doesn't click with you, move on.

Your absolutely right, some albums just aren't meant to be. Just listening to this the once and moving on should have been enough, that would have been the wiser move anyway, time I could have spent listening to an album alot more pleasing.
