Debut 12 track full length release from Newcastle's Safe Hands that follows their recent split 7" with Perth's Vanity. Safe Hands take a bit of a manic metal appraoch to their music ala Dillenger Escape Plan, Converge or Everytime I Die. Vocals interchange between screamed and spoken and suit what is going on musically. This is a pretty top notch recording with no over the top layering or studio trickery. While the production sounds huge, it sounds believable and acheivable in any studio. While this isn't really my favoured style of music, this is a pretty solid release and a great acheivement for Safe Hands.
