Album Review
Antikythera – “Antikythera”
Louisville, KY metal band Antikythera released their self-titled debut in 2006. Fast and furious the group pounds out 8 rough metalcore songs in a quick 42 minutes. With heavy instrumentals these guys dirty their sound with shouted vocals, then clean things up with some mild singing. At rare times, Antikythera will also perform soft parts giving the listener a brief respite from the craziness.

If you flip over the album’s jewel case you’ll notice track 2 is unlisted; it’s simply a filler track taken from a movie. At the end of the day the album may not be a masterpiece, but at the same time a raw sound like this is how groups such as The End, Poison The Well and ZAO started off before finalizing their shtick. They’ve got a ways to go, but Antikythera sure has potential.
