Our Take
Our Take
Ah, TOOTHGRINDER, the enigmatic band with a name that sounds like a rejected dentist's office theme. Their latest album, Nocturnal Masquerade, is a cacophony of sound that will leave your ears reeling in delight and confusion.
From the opening track, it's clear that TOOTHGRINDER are not afraid to push the boundaries of genre and experiment with the expected. One minute you're headbanging to a bone-crushing riff, the next you're swaying to a melodic chorus that wouldn't be out of place on a pop-punk record from the early 2000s.
Vocalist Justin Matthews delivers a powerhouse performance, seamlessly transitioning from guttural screams to soaring cleans with the finesse of a musical chameleon. The band's instrumentation is equally impressive, with complex guitar riffs and thunderous drums that keep the listener on their toes throughout the album.
Nocturnal Masquerade is a rollercoaster of emotion, with tracks like "Lace & Anchor" and "Diamonds for Gold" serving as emotional gut punches that will have you reaching for the tissues one minute, and headbanging like a maniac the next.
Overall, TOOTHGRINDER's Nocturnal Masquerade is a wild ride that shouldn't be missed. It's a musical extravaganza that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about heavy music. So buckle up, dear reader, and prepare yourself for a journey into the twisted, beautiful world of TOOTHGRINDER. Cheers, mate.

About the artist
Toothgrinder
TOOTHGRINDER: The Jersey Rockers Shaking Up the Metal Scene Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey, TOOTHGRINDER are a band with a mission: to inject a hefty dose of energy and innovation into the metal scene. Combining blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums, and guttural vocals, these guys are not afraid to push boundaries and defy genre conventions. Formed in 2010, TOOTHGRINDER have been making waves with their unique blend of metalcore, progressive metal, and post-hardcore. Their sound is aggressive, yet melodic, with intricate arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics that will keep you hooked from start to finish. They have toured relentlessly, sharing the stage with heavyweights like The Dillinger Escape Plan, Periphery, and Killswitch Engage. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with frontman Justin Matthews commanding the stage like a madman possessed, while the rest of the band deliver tight, intense performances that will have you headbanging until your neck hurts. But TOOTHGRINDER are not just about shredding guitars and brutal breakdowns. With their latest album, "I AM," they have proven that they are capable of creating music that is not only heavy, but also deeply introspective and emotionally resonant. Songs like "The Silence of a Sleeping WASP" and "My Favorite Hurt" showcase a band that is unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves, while still delivering the kind of sonic devastation that will leave you begging for more. In a world where metal music can sometimes feel stale and derivative, TOOTHGRINDER are a breath of fresh air. With their fearless approach to songwriting and their electrifying live performances, this is a band that is destined for greatness. Keep an eye on these guys - they're going to blow your mind.
