Grinding blast beats, melodic guitar riffs, screeching vocals, and tons of Gothic flare. The title says it all: Tried and true, no bullshit added black metal.
Organic, street-level hardcore played with finesse, not to mention an ear for detailed chord structures. Abrasive? Sure. But so are Coalesce and Fugazi.
Bad take-off on the classic Judas Priest/Iron Maiden sound, which I was never that fond of. Souring vocals, boring, one-note bass galloping, and shitty songs.
Elements of EBM, trance, down tempo, and pop, lyricist/composer Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson, achieve an emotional depth by approaching each song as a scene.
With Teeth is as controversial, innovative, and explosive as any and every other Nine Inch Nails release. The wait for the next album begins once again.
