3 Quarters Dead (or alternatively 3QD) is not new to the music scene.Through the years, they have played with some of my personal favorites Mushroomhead and Chimaira and also some of the biggest names in the hard rock and heavy metal industry including Soilwork and Shadows Fall. After previously releasing two albums; Blueprint of a Strange Mind and Between Angels and Demons, 3QD is back and currently kicking ass across the country, splitting eardrums with their latest LP "Once Upon This Broken Glass," by now available on Amazon.
Of all songs I played over and over, and over; I found that 3QD truly comes into their own skin in The Coming of Death. Lead vocalist, Jason Sain is best on tracks like this where he tears off your head with cantankerous roars from the gutters of his soul. A thundering mix of soft and heavy, old and newer metal influences can be heard throughout the album but on this track, 3QD truly reveals their inner demon to be an early Coal Chamber and more melodic Mudvayne fusion.
A cold and tortured emotional tempest of intricate musicianship; each instrument adds a unique layer to their overall sound. My one wish is that they explore the more murky depths of metal because although the softer stuff is good, the heaviness is where the mesmerizing comes in.
Once Upon This Broken Glass also features Peter Witchers of Soilwork courtesy of Nuclear Blast Records. Get your copy today at Amazon.
