Devastatingly heavy, A Second From the Surface heaves out a slab of punishing metal-imbued hardcore. Dynamics are massive as the band shifts from weighty and oddly melodic waves of muscular riffage to spastic and speedy antics. A deliberately scattershot personality makes this an instant winner for fans of don't-stop-to-breathe heavy music. Screaming, manic guitars and frequent style shifts make for an exhausting but satisfying listen.

Upchuck Undergrind listens to a little bit of a lot of things - just note the eclecticism of his reviews. He also reads voraciously and loves movies. He is a very open-minded Episcopalian (and student of Buddhism and Hinduism) who thinks Slayer is one of the greatest metal bands. Ever. In addition to his work with Corazine - for which he has written since its inception (he is a Fishcomcollective veteran) - he also writes for DJFix.com.
