A cross breed of EMOtional metal and carefully written hardcore with an unforgettable rhythm section, Amplexus ride a fine line that only few artists have been able to pull off. Getting back to obvious but hidden meanings, track eight, The Handbook For The Recently Deceased should jar anyone who's seen the movie Beetlejuice's memory. By far the most radio friendly, this song has a fantastic acoustic intro that softly entices interest. Quickly a blitzing and rhythmic verse attacks. The chorus will eventually morph the two, and lead to a unique bridge of hardcore vocals and instrumentation. The lyrical content in fact does shadow a bit of the famous movie's dialogue, though my quick memory of the storyline say its a bitch of a stretch.
The first track Come On In introduces you to the melting pot of their sound. Heart-thumping double bass drums, stop and start rhythm and bass guitars section. Mind numbing fretting of the lead guitars. All the while lead singer Mahlon tastefully ropes everything together with manly wail, yet subtle speech very comparable to the likes of Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Tapeworm) and Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust).
