6. Face to Face (Radio Edit)
Well, it's that kind of metal again, shouty verses and sung choruses. The vocals are pretty well done actually, the tone on the low and high screams is fat and obviously works well against the palm-muted guitar riffs, vibrato harmonic squeals and hammering, double-kicking drums.
There's obvious influences from the big boys of metal, as the vocals are often similar to Machine Head and the song structures build up in a similar way to One Minutes Silence. There's probably a million other bands that I could name here, pointing to the fact that Honour Among None have well and truly immersed themselves into an long-established genre - a very risky move seeing as they have little to distinguish themselves from the ocean of bands already propping up the scene.
My favourite song on here is Riot, it sounds quite different to the rest of their tracks, with a heavier emphasis on the rhythms giving an almost tribal feel to the music. The song I like the least is Lost, although initially quite catchy, 7 minute later and 10 times through the same chorus melody (yes 10 times) is sure to frustrate anyone - a radio edit of that song would have been much more useful especially as it sounds the most commercial.
