Optics - Optics



1. Arise
2. The Dining Dead
3. Last One
4. Morally Bankrupt


Optics have released their debut self titled album. The album shows a band trying to get into the heavier metal scene and with this effort have just scratched the surface of that. The first thing here is that the recording quality is terrible, this band should not have even decided to release these songs, as they make the band look even worse then they are. The second thing is that looking past the recording quality, the band is very generic and has nothing that points them out over the tons of other metal bands doing the same thing. On a positive note, the band can play decently, and the singer can do the low growls that are heard in the deathcore genre. Listen to "The Dining Dead" if you want to hear a song on this album, it's probably the best one. In final, this band could be decent live and on their next recordings could actually make a good turn around, and they have the ability, so lets see what they do next. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Genre: Deathcore/Progressive/Hardcore
