Album Review: Make Them Suffer - Old Souls

Cameron Cooper
StarStarStar

"'Old Souls' functions best as the full package — a romper of a ride from the string sections all the way to the breakdowns."

Although the classical piano flourishes and guttural growls mightn’t mesh at first, by a quarter of the way through the album, Perth’s Make Them Suffer are in full, symphonic deathcore swing.

They seem intent on moving away from the deathcore formula though, with Gothenberg-style melodeath riffs dominating, helped along by stunning clean female vocals. Coming in just shy of 40 minutes, Old Souls functions best as the full package — a romper of a ride from the string sections all the way to the breakdowns. For deathcore fans looking for something with a bit more depth.
