After over a decade of waiting Brisbane nu-metal band Headkase has finally released their debut album. The album starts of solidly with an introduction themed like an opening of a circus followed by a pirate themed instrumental piece.
What follows next is eclectic vocals ranging from harsh screams to insanely spoken cleans, mixed with a myriad of circus styled keys and catchy guitar riffs. A duo harmony on track 6 "A song called Life", lets the album down a bit, with being slightly off, and not sounding quite as nice as it should.
A highlight of the album is track 11 "Onchocirciasis" which sounds like it was stolen directly from any number of movie's from the '80's. The album is diverse ranging from soft to violently demented. This is a fantastic offering for fans of nu-metal, by these clownish circus freaks.
I give it a 8/10.
