The Unseen - “Internal Salvation” - CD - [Hellcat]
Author: Sleepi12.11.2007
The Unseen from Boston MA is back with their 6th full length. Their sound (dubbed street punk) is still very punk with new hardcore/metalcore high-pitch AFI style vocals. You can also hear the roots of Rancid and Bouncing Souls in vocalist Mark Unseen’s raw shooting. The lyrics of the songs are mainly based on real life murders, true horrific events like mass school shootings in order to remind people how horrible we all are. Quoted from the liner notes, “For some its just a headline, for the unlucky it’s a reality”. Gang vocals, catchy guitar riffs and memorable choruses make the album an energetic barrage lead by hard hitting bass kicks. While the sound may conform more to the newer style metalcore, the bands image remains uniquely punk with foot long Mohawks and skull n crossbones tattoos. Since ‘93 this band has gone from high school to MTV2 and the Warped Tour.
