Gift Giver - S**tlife: Review

The A new style of metalcore is emerging from the underground and rising to the tops. The genre employs deathcore, hardcore, metalcore, and Post-Hardcore styles. 2 bands have so far made it to "Hot Topic" status. One being the band Sworn In, the other being Gift Giver. 

Gift Giver has not had as mich commerical success as Sworn in but is a great band nonetheless. Their new album entitled Shitlife, is a great album to a new and upcoming style of music. The lyrics (Like Sworn In) have to do with hatred for people and hatred for ones own life. Other than that, the album is straight forward. 

I really enjoyed how unique each song was in this album. While not each song delivers that head banging moment in your head, I still feel that was a solid release for Gift Giver, and with guest appearances by Frankie from Emmure you really cant go wrong.

Score: 8/10
Heaviness: 6/10
