Car Bomb - Meta

I thought the emails I was getting were spam. Quite happy that these guys are back with another release!

Probably the most insane math metal band alongside Dillinger Escape Plan & The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Definitely surprised they still keep going. New track is good too.

One of the best song they have released.

Thats definitely too melodic for something Car Bomb so not my fav but I get the math insanity at the end, so enjoyed it. Their debut is still the mindfuck though.

Yeah their least abrasive and complex release but the most fun and enjoyable I guess. Very groovy and slightly melodic too with a good deal of hooks thrown in. The riffs are just insanely cool and make up for the lack of progressive and technical drumming. Think I prefer this over this last two. Wouldn't be surprised if it ended up as my favorite from them.

I enjoy the blending of melodic elements... In addition to the obvious Meshuggah worship, there are some Deftones-isms as well. I actually hadn't listened to any of their stuff until this album popped up on a bunch of year-end lists (given they're signed to Relapse and have shown up on so many of those lists, I'm kind of surprised so few people on this site seem to have noticed it.) Glad I gave it a spin.
