 Thank god for MPB October 3, 2005

A couple things are worth mentioning here. Number 1, Trustkill generally had an awful year. 6 records and 3 of them were complete and total busts (those busts being Fight Paris, Bedlight For Blueeyes, and Bullet For My Valentine). Thankfully, Open Hand, Throwdown, and Most Precious Blood all delivered.
Number 2, A few years ago, this may not have felt as original as it does now due to the fact that independent music is basically oversatured with metalcore bands doing the swedish metal thing, so Merciless actually feels very refreshing with its more traditional hardcore sound.
Number 3, Rob Fusco finally has impressed me as a vocalist. He has this ability to stretch and echo his voice unlike I've heard any other singer do and as a whole, Merciless is in fact the best album MPB has ever released. There's a few scattered breakdowns, but generally this album flys at a breakneck speed. Shark Ethic is probably the best, most epic sounding song they've ever written. They do experiment a little bit with some different styled riffing and some short leads, but nothing to drastic. It's only there to pepper the songs with some variance. There's a lot of use of samples as well. Sales figures on this album were not looking to good last I saw, but this should be checked out if you want to have your faith restored at all in Trustkill and to show Josh TK and the rest of his staff that we don't want this other garbage they seem hellbent on releasing. Call me an elitist but I miss the old days of hardcore and MPB brings me back to those days.
 Another triumph! September 21, 2005

What can I say? A crushing new album from Most Precious Blood. They skirt the edge of the current "popular" sound(s) while still maintaining their identity of a bone crushing hardcore band. They rarely make 'em like this anymore...no white belts, no new-wave haircuts --just awesome, fast, drilling-into-your-brain-hardcore. (Oh and MPB keeps to tradition and gives you 99 tracks)

i have been a fan for a while, i personally liked When singer Tom Sheenan was with the band better, but i could wish in one hand and ...anyway i think this cd is better than LOA, and im not sorry i bought it...its not gonna blow your socks off but its good hardcore music.

This album seems a bit more 'metally' and 'heavier' than their previous ones, but don't let that deter you. Rob's singing on some of the tracks is one of the main standouts, the riffs are very very catchy - really stay in your head, the lyrics in this album also seem to have progressed to be less about personal things and more about the problems of our society in a kind of symbolic wordplay kind of way. This album has a lot of aggression in it which is also great...highly recommended to anyone who likes metal-influenced hardcore or quality metalcore. oh...and read the lyrics of 'diet for a new america' - with an open mind and have a think about it

I didn't even get that this band was supposed to be NYHC on their last album, because the production was so slick and alternative sounding. I took them as a bunch of alt-rock kids playing at being hardcore, and not entirely getting the point of the genre, so it's kinda weird to realise I had it completely backwards. Now I guess I need to ask what a genuine NYHC band are doing trying to sound so commercial. Either way the songwriting is still mediocre.
