Reviews ISCARIOT - LIFELESS DESIGN - 567 
Iscariot is a new and young band on the scene, which according to its label will appeal to fans of Lamb Of God, The Red Chord and Unearth. The analogy is largely correct, and the band won’t betray the comparison, but whether promoting a band by comparing to others right off the bat is a good strategy is another matter. Lifeless Design begins with an outright doomy melody, but is soon off to a frantic and complex course featuring a myriad of riffs, growls, grunts and speeds. The band traverses crossover, grindcore and thrash metal, uses two voices - the scratchy screams are less interesting than the deeper growls - and certainly mixes up speeds. The band has an incredibly aggressive and busy set of songs, albeit suffers slightly in the originality and sound departments. The lead guitar parts, in particular, have a weaker than average sound. Song-wise, Reinventing The Ghost, Hollowed Eyes with its Ion Dissonance influence and odd melodic parts are probably the album’s better moments. Hardly lifeless, one should say. - Ali “The Metallian”
