BLOODSHOTEYE-"AN UNRELENTING ASSAULT" (Galy/06) REVIEWS "Canadian Deathcore masters Bloodshoteye return with An Unrelenting Assault and the result is even heavier, tighter and more bone-crushing than their debut. Vocalist Jessica Desiardins takes a back seat to no man with her volcanic vocal roars and the innovative, yet brutal-as-fuck guitar antics of Shane Ivy will leave you battered and breathless. With song titles like Lock and Load, Be my Victim and Bound to Break you expect some extreme audio violence and Bloodshoteye does not disappoint. Fuck taking prisoners...kill em all!!!" -SOD..23 "An Unrelenting Assault is exactly what this CD is. The technical but blastingly brutal mix of thrash and metalcore shot through with change-up dynamics, is a needle to the arm for heavy junkies." -FISHCOMCOLLECTIVE.NET "Once a metalcore act that seemed like it would inevitably get lost in the overcrowded pack, Bloodshoteye has used all the touring it's accomplished over the last couple years to refine its sound and ensure maximum intensity: this record ain't called "An Unrelenting Assault" for nothin". "Theres alot to like on this album, starting with the lead off track "Lock & Load" and continuing through the unmitigated fury that graces the entire album." BW&BK MAGAZINE "It didn't take a lot of songs to convince me that the second record from Bloodshoteye, An unrelenting Assault, is better than 'Without any remorse'." "It's intense, in your face, brutal as hell (more heavy than the first album!) and well produced. In fact, I better like the sound of this record if we compare it with the first one. I also think that this record is more METAL than ...core if you know what I mean. It also features more melodic parts. I love the fact that they can blend emotions with brutallity. There's more melodies and they're better, the guitar riffs are better, the execution is better...everything is better!" -THEDARKESTHOURS.COM "Bloodshoteye has returned with their sophomore effort An Unrelenting Assault which is bound to gather some well deserved attention from not only the deathcore community at large, but fringe fans who can enjoy both metalcore and death metal spliced in this sort of way." "even the strong metalcore overtones of this Canadian quartet manages to sound fresh and interesting in certain areas especially while blending the groove and melody of bands like As I lay Dying, Through the Eyes of the Dead, and Unearth with the more brutal aspects of bands like Animosity and All Shall Perish. There..s the occasional tech hardcore phrase ala artificial harmonics or dissonant melody borrowed from acts like Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, or Into the Moat." "this is a hell of a release in a lot of ways, perhaps one of the more enjoyable and forward thinking metalcore bands I..ve come across." -METALREVIEW.COM "By god, if you call your album An Unrelenting Assault you had better fucking follow though and lucky for Ontario..s female fronted death core mongers, they do." "Bloodshoteye entertain me pretty well with their expected mix of death metal, grindcore. metalcore and thrash and have tightened up their song writing, playing and production since 2004's Without Any Remorse." "With Jean-Francois Dagenais production and Alan Douches mastering, the album sounds as expected, clean, pummeling and heavy, highlighting the albums many stern, rumbling grooves. As a whole, a pretty solid, improved sophomore album and should appease fans of All Shall Perish, Dead to Fall and The Taste of Blood." -DIGITALMETAL.COM "A highly technical, female fronted melodic deathcore outfit set to rival the genre domineering Arch Enemy. Vocalist Jessica Desjardins has a mighty impressive range, with her vocal contributions on the album being administered by none other than Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God." "When destructive capacity meets meltdown levels, the final result would be "An Unrelenting Assault." Thankfully, we have these Canadians to thank for the creation of such awe-inspiringly dramatic sounds, making this album a must-have for fans of fast-paced, cored-out death metal." -PYROMUSIC.NET "Canadian deathcore act Bloodshoteye brings a heavy-handed, death metal-influenced mindset into the metalcore realm with the band's second record, An Unrelenting Assault. For the most part, the album's title makes perfect sense: these guys (and gal) lay down blast beats and breakdowns while vocalist Jessica Desjardins throws in her throaty growl through all the record's nine tracks. "Mourning In Silence" slows things down a bit but keeps the mix thick and heavy, never steering too far from the band's goal of assaulting the ears." -DEADTIDE.COM "As with all Galy Records albums I have come into contact with, An Unrelenting Assault is of high caliber. The album title is perhaps the best explanation of what's going on here. Bloodshoteye plays a death metal infused form of metalcore that is more on the death side than anything else." "This is a killer for the genre, one that has repeated listening value." -DEFECT MAGAZINE "On their sophomore album, AN UNRELENTING ASSAULT, Leamington, Ontario..s Bloodshoteye live up to its title..and then some. ..Deathcore.. is the band..s claim to fame and the musical roots are certainly as brutal as anything Immolation or Suffocation ever penned but thrash, grind and a slight hardcore edge also drift in. Like fellow purveyors of deathcore, All Shall perish, Walls of Jericho and Despised Icon, Bloodshoteye immerses themselves in blastbeats, vicious vocals and pit-friendly breakdowns but Bloodshoteye also brings in some slower, moody sections and clean vocals that shake things up a bit. As he did with 2004..s WITHOUT ANY REMORSE, Lamb of God..s Randy Blythe shows up, this time handling vocal production, while Kataklysm..s J-F Dagenais handles co-production along with the band. As songwriters and musicians, AN UNRELENTING ASSAULT is a far better album than the debut bringing in some melody without forsaking brutality while clearing up some of the chaotic messiness." -METAL-RULES.COM "Offering more musically that their American counterparts Walls of Jericho (they both feature larynx-shredding vocals from hardcore maidens)." -CAUSTIC TRUTHS MAGAZINE BLOODSHOTEYE-"WITHOUT ANY REMORSE"-(Galy/04) REVIEWS "The music itself is hardcore with a metal edge, embarking on some savage beatdowns that recall Walls of Jericho, Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God. "Deaths Sweet Revenge" has the devil herself vomiting her spleen with some of the most gloriously over the top barked vocals from hard lady vocalist Jesicka. -TERRORIZER MAGAZINE "Without Any Remorse combines pulverizing speeds, shattering breakdowns, and ultra hook laden grooves showing Bloodshoteye have mastered their vision." -LIVE4METAL.COM "one may be surprised with the amount of technicality involved on Bloodshoteye..s album Without Any Remorse. Being just a debut, there are plenty of reasons this band could take off and others would want to share the stage with them, not the other way around." -PIVOTALRAGE.COM "Imagine a cross between Walls of Jericho, a less melodic Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God and you'll have a good idea of what to expect. This is possibly the heaviest metalcore album to ever come out of Canada and I see this band definitly making a name for itself in the scene." -SNAGGLETOOTH MAGAZINE "There's not a lot of really good Canadian metalcore, so cool to see Ontario's Bloodshoteye kicking some arse on this debut disc. the eight songs on here give a good beating; technical switcheroos abound but not distractingly so, and all the players are quite talented. The vocals of Jesicka are miles above her male peers." -BW&BK MAGAZINE Female fronted Bloodshot Eye is anything but gentle. Their album Without Any Remorse sounds like what hardcore ought to become someday. Supremely hateful, barked vocals atop a veritable warzone of thrashy, choppy guitar riffs and chaotic yet precise drums full of smoking double bass. Take Bloodshot Eye seriously, because if the metal scene allows even the smallest amout of justice, this band will be pounding from all of your speakers. -DEADTIDE.COM |
