Of Mice & Men Profile
These guys are tight. Nothing's changed in that department for this Californian metalcore five-piece on their third album Restoring Force. As a relative newcomer to the scene their engaging lines and rhythmic changes have stood them in stark relief to their peers. What is new, however, is a nu-metal sound, especially in the snappy Feels Like Forever. While it certainly doesn't hamper the brutal intensity of Bones Exposed and Glass Hearts, it's a dangerous move to evoke thoughts of Chester Bennington. Aside from this slight stain, the boys deliver another well rounded release.
