Wristmeetrazor's newest album `Degeneration' is a concoction of the best in metalcore and early screamo influenced bands. They bring the chug-tastic rhythms and aren't afraid to throw in the octaves, dischords and the odd riff here and there. Wristmeetrazor play with a large toolbox, to be certain, but it's all very aesthetically contained and masterfully cohesive. Never does their particular brand feel gimmicky or like either side of their sound particularly weakens the other.[info sheet from distr.]
