Dread-littered sentiments suggest The One Hundred are dealing with a lot of anger.

More The One Hundred More The One Hundred

This screeching industrial clamour of screamo growls and dramatic, dread-littered sentiments suggest The One Hundred are dealing with a lot of anger. The Londoners favour a volatile, rapcore concoction that makes a fair impression of a Transformer having a tantrum. Their trite scratching and cartoonishly petulant vocals come to the fore on Unleashed. Epic, messy and largely unlistenable, the track sounds akin to a furious, dubstep puppet show. But it’s still no match for the Kingsmen’s operatic, metal-funk sludge, on which you’d be forgiven for thinking Little Britain’s Vicky was featuring as guest rapper. And she’s pissed.
