UMUR
"Biteback" is an EP release by multinational metalcore/melodic death metal act The Way of Purity. The EP was released through WormHoleDeath Records in May 2011. The Way of Purity are known for their radical and at times controversial political views about animal rights and their superiority over humans. While such a viewpoint is to some extent sympathetic enough, it´s also utopian IMO and slightly silly. But then again singing about the superiority of Satan or a zombie holocaust are probably just as silly to some people, so who´s the silly one here?

...with that out of the way the band are actually a very well playing unit, playing something that can be described as a croos between melodic death metal in the vein of Arch Enemy (the fact that The Way of Purity features a growling female vocalist that sounds a lot like Angela Gossow only strengthens this link) and metalcore/deathcore. The three tracks on the 9:12 minutes long EP are all quality material to my ears allthough the band don´t exactly differentiate themselves a whole lot from other contemporary acts playing this style.

To my great (and positive) surprise the music on "Biteback" is actually more a melodic death metal release than a metalcore/deathcore ditto, which was what I was expecting, and listening to the EP has been a positive experience. I´d say a 3.5 star rating is warranted.
