It needs to be heard to be believed!

With song titles such as ‘Fire Crotch’ and ‘Cocaine Avalanche’, it’s safe to say that
Dr. Acula (geddit?!) don’t take themselves all that seriously. Plying a brand of deathcore less generic than the likes of
Emmure yet not as inventive as, say,
Suicide Silence, the band splice their songs with clips from horror movies to add a definite degree of darkness to the mayhem. The aforementioned ‘Cocaine Avalanche’ is perhaps the album’s highlight, big riffs piled on top of frenetic vocal patterns, rather like
Every Time I Die crossed with
Arsonists Get All The Girls. It needs to be heard to be believed!
