Four years after the band's sophomore release,
Bluetality
does little to separate
Merauder
from
Pro-Pain
and
Biohazard
, two New York-area bands that not only predated and influenced the group, but that also have much better albums in their cache than this second-generation (or maybe third-generation) outfit. Metalcore? You know the score, and it's a bore. ~ Brian O'Neill
