Label: Unsigned

Country: Borås, Sweden
Note: By band request
With a very typical swedish youth-post-hardcore sound to it, the first track Worth To Steal doesn't give a very good first impression of the album. Musically, there's not much to complain about other than occuring boring and generic riffs. Vocally, there's room for much improvement. The screaming has an early Adept touch to it, which is both good and bad. Good: it sounds ok sometimes. Bad: it sounds veeery inhale-ish, which I don't like. The clean vocals have a similar soothing effect as BirthEater-Oceana, but by far not as good. Often out of key, and a tad whiny.
Being a swedish band, I can't help but draw parallels with Adept, which I'm pretty sure they have as influences.
If A Hole Inside were to improve the vocal parts, they could develop a characteristic sound. If they keep their dark post-rock-ish instrumental parts and maybe cut down on the clean vocals this could be really good, if not a good start atleast.
And by request from the band, here's a link so you can download the album: http://www.mediafire.com/?32zjzzqz0ix .
