Album Description
A lot has happened since the summer of 2005 when Animosity released their Black Market Activities debut Empires. The group has established themselves playing hundreds of shows in at least a dozen countries, sold 10,000+ CDs, garnered over a million plays on Myspace, and sold thousands of shirts. Musically, Animal shows an enormous progression from their prior releases. The band’s sound has become more distinct and refined. While stylistically the group has not changed drastically from their combination of thrash, hardcore and death metal, the growth in the actual quality of the musicianship is unbelievable. The album is completed by the production of Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios and is beautifully illustrated by artist, Paul Romano (Mastodon, Trivium). Animal is a guitar riffer’s dream. The album is jam packed with Frank Costa’s Slash-like solos interspersed tastefully between the blasting and thrashing. Not to take anything away from the mind-blowing, wild, drum-stylings of Navene Koperweis or the jazz-fusion inspired bass licks of the band’s newest member, Evan Brewer who had previously done time in the progmetalcore band, Reflux.

Customer Reviews

one of the better deathcore bands out there
these guys know how to throw down. it's very progressive. it gives me the urge to break things! best songs are 1-you can't win, 2-animal, 3-a passionate journy. for fans of carnifex, whitechapel, from graves of valor, job for a cowboy, etc...ENJOY IT!!

I AM THE ANIMAL
Funny... They sound nothing like carnifex, whitechapel, or j.f.a.c! This cd (and Empires is straight grind. Shut it down was more mosh/groove influenced). Think, cattle decapitation, dying fetus, and some red chord. Album rules, a little more progressive than empires but it doesnt at all lack heaviness or intensity. it will kick your arse and leave u gasping for air before u realize what hit u! Definate must for death/grind fans... Album artwork is amazing also

Animal
Shut it down was impressive, Empires was amazing, and Animal is out of this world. Imagine Empires maturing to a whole new level, you get Animal. Amazing.
