Artist description End of Line merge the aggressiveness of metal with the musical technicality of jazz fundamentalists and hooky songwriters to give birth to an original sound full of energy, charisma, and pure emotion.With the resurgence of heavy metal, there have been many styles born. End of Line merge the sonic intensity of metal with the gracefulness of a well-polished musical outfit. The instrumentalists work together in unison texturing guttural chord arrangements and cacophonic guitar sounds over a strong, rythmic juggernaut that creates a less rudimentary style and a strong rythmic foundation. The vocalistbrings a fervent lyrical style to the band and sings with the sheer bitterness and brutal emotion that powers the voices of angry youths of the world.

Press Reviews Taken from April 2000 issue of Mindview magazine(Belgium):This new NY band knows how to draw attention to themselves with their debut release. End of Line is a brutal metalcore outfit from which you will definitely hear from in the future.The band describes the music as being influenced by Fear Factory, Machine Head, and Meshuggah but in my opinion, this is one of the many reasons that will lead you to buy this record.Besides the pure aggressiveness, the debut release also contains many variations and melodies. Agression and melody join together on this one. From the first note you can notice that the EOL kids definitely know how to play their instruments. These days there are alot of bands playing the metalcore style but these boys succeeded in giving a very original sound to their material.I'm pretty sure these guys kick ass on stage as well. Since I only got a copy of the test pressing to review, I can't tell you much about the lyrics but it seems these young kids are pretty mad at the world. The future of metalcore genre is bright again, Thanx to bands like this one. EOL have got everything to appeal to many fans. Great stuff!(Goud)
