CD Review by: Metal Maniacs Magazine

Date: February, 2008 CD: Randall Flagg "Warning: Contains Audio" Publication: Metal Maniacs Magazine Reviewer: Dave Brenner Slamming the column again, 'Flagg reams you even harder this round. Taking the band's established proto post-death hardcore flair to new heights, Randall Flagg get a little more into crossing genres and enter into a more technical and forward-thinking progression of styles, taking mid-to-late '90s acts Vision of Disorder, Quicksand, Burn it Down and Starkweather's molestations of early experimental metalcore somewhere modern and somewhat commercial while still retaining that underlying metalic pride. I can see where a lot of 'bangers would be reluctant to pick this up. But those of you for whom ballsier metallic post-hardcore meddling is appealing - fans of Tool to Turmoil, Raging Speedhorn to Ringworm, Snapcase to Sense Field - this is all you. Not exactly what you'd expect seeing Divine Rapture and Vile in the "also members of" category, but brutal in a completely dissimilar way. Hell Yea. 11 tracks/47:00. - Dave Brenner
