Album Review: Crossfaith - Apocalyze

There’s a lot of weird noises, you’re completely overstimulated and you cannot begin to comprehend everything going on around you. But it’s still kind of awesome.

What is happening? That's the question you'll keep asking yourself listening to Crossfaith's third record Apocalyze. Though they're the biggest Japanese export since Godzilla, Crossfaith's music makes zero sense. It's like nu-dub metalcore and it sometimes feels as ridiculous as such descriptors. It's like standing in the middle of a Pachinko slot hall in some out of the way Osakan prefecture at three in the morning. There's a lot of weird noises, you're completely overstimulated and you cannot begin to comprehend everything going on around you. But it's still kind of awesome.
