The Fire The Flood hails from North Carolina, a state home to metalcore greats Prayer for Cleansing. Unfortunately, the music that makes up Truth Seekers is nothing worth mentioning in the same sentence as one of the purveyors of modern metalcore.
Truth Seekers is comprised of thirteen tracks, of which only two clock in over the two-minute mark. Musically, the band delivers what best could be compared to Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child-era Norma Jean. There is a huge dependence on the metalcore breakdown. Each song on the album is centered on the predictable and well advertised "Oh my gosh, here it comes" breakdown. Why this release is even necessary is beyond me, I mean, I can't say that Norma Jean is all that special, but at least they were ripping off the original pioneers of technical mathcore. This is just a fourth-rate knockoff.
