"Lifeforce Records shocks me with every new release! The latest record of All That Remains were a good one and now Endthisday with their first album and they've blown me away. Mosh mayhem joined by metal destruction formed to brutal perfection! Most songs are around the 5 minute mark and mostly every sub-genre in metallic hardcore is audible. Fast metal attacks meet mosh riffs, heavy breakdowns, catchy melodies and even quiet parts. These five guys from Wisconsin set new standards in metal/hardcore and their musical abilities are amazing. In one moment they spoil your ears with wonderful and fast black metallic guitar riffs and within the next second they start to mosh you down with brutal and destroying riffs. The singer changes between aggressive screaming and grunting so that the vocals seem balanced and diversified! Of the altogether 9 songs are 2 instrumental songs. This record convinces me with every minute of its playtime. It's never boring, unbalanced or hectic. With this album Endthisday proved that they play in the premier league. As a matter of course with a interesting layout and intelligent and sometimes dark lyrics. Direct hit!"

This cd owns!!!... 4.5 stars...

"endthisday.... another band who i personally think deserved more credit and status than they got (kudos to the long-time fans). they split up after only 2 months from releasing this full length, which to me is a great shame. however, this cd is epic in more ways than one. okay, so some people are saying this cd is 'nothing new' and it's 'bland death metal'. guys... open up... LISTEN to the song structures, timing, the awesome drumming and those catchy melodic/death riffs!!! what's there not to like??? to me, this band blew me away and they DID produce something completely different, but on the same level. i particularly admire the guitarwork - it seems so well-produced and the band emit a great overall sound. the vocals remind me of jonathan hunt from dead to fall, which is never a band thing. endthisday are a huge influence to me - just because these guys split up, doesnt mean you shouldn't give this a listen. do yourself a favour and buy this impressive and inspiring album before it becomes a rarity.



best songs:

killing in the month of july

an eulogy on the lips of the dead

behind a veil of tears

silently choking on her regret"
