Empire Of Rats are a band from Ohio that plays a very heavy form of hardcore with metal elements and this is a review of their self titled 2013 album which was released by A389 Recordings.
"Leeches" begins with a spoken word sample before going into a heavier guitar riff along with drums and after awhile the aggressive vocals, faster riffs and blast beats kick in before making switches back and forth between slow and fast parts and towards the end you can hear some powerful bass guitars.
"Another Minute In Hell" begins with heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some drums which lead to some aggressive sounding hardcore vocals and then the music switches back and forth between slow and mid paced before a brief guitar lead that leads to the song going into a fater direction for awhile as well as coming in and out of the song.
"Bottomless Pit" begins with some drums which lead to some fast and heavy guitar riffs along with the vocals kicking in a few seconds later and as the song moves on the riffs start getting more diverse.
