Promising new underground metal, worthy of a few punches at the mainstream, Choleric seize hardcore and death metal influences and combine them into one hell of a powerful sound. It reminded me of Scar Culture, another great band. The Scar Culture influence comes from the voice tone and guitar settings. The deep throaty growl and the heavy pounding guitar just sound so good. The demo we heard was well put together, and had a lot of effort put into it. Given the right promotion and a bit of luck, these guys could make a major label debut someday.

One of the more interesting songs to hear was "When the Sun Goes Down". This song utilized a familiar Arabian riff to get its point across. It was kind of funny to hear at first, but it really held together and made a superb song. The favorite of the bunch was "Friends Like You" which had the best overall riff and lyrical work (and had us moving like crazy).

The three songs ended way too quickly though. It would be nice to see an independent release and even catch a few live shows to really see what they're about.
