Press Reviews Bum rushing from the streets of Crooklyn like a bat outta hell(sorry,Meatloaf),Locked In A Vacancy uses extreme metalcore to encourage discourse,forgoing melody and easy listening for sonic dischord and strife.Though tailor-made for moshing at CBGB's,the primordial Exit The Futility Ward is more thought-out than alot of the chugga-chugga meathead hardcore that's so popular NYHC these days.We wouldn't be suprised if singer Dyami Bryant popped a few blood vessels in his eyes and neck while recording this baby.Don a tourniquet and give "Office Polotics" and "Fine Art Of Self-Segregation" a whirl. -Amy Sciarretto:CMJ New Music Report Issue:698-Jan 22,2001
