A Plea For Purging
A Critique Of Mind And Thought
Despite what you might already know about A Plea For Purging, they are not a hardcore band. The middle Tennessee quintet renown for spitting fire on stage will implement within their songs brutallic breakdowns and even an occasional gang vocal from their “Dude-bro Choir” ... but please, don’t let them fool you. Only when these pure metalheads forget about trying to keep the pit alive, do they truly shine. Thanks to the braggart talents of guitarists Blake Martin and Lyle Paschal, the band’s first full-length A Critique Of Mind And Thought is saved from the metalcore redundancy curse by constantly featuring sharp succint shreds. And inadvertently or not, the ranged results strike a solid and profound balance. [Facedown] Dan Frazier
