Ektomorph provides us with an accessible Hardcore style of Metal.
What I mean is that they have the elements of Hardcore and a
heavier style but they have such tight hooks and great choruses
that even people who aren't a fan of the harsher vocal style
can get into this stuff. Songs like "I Got It All"
and "What Doesn't Kill Me" are downright infectious.
It's a bit in the vein of Prong classics like "Who's Fist
Is This Anyway". Maybe this will help, I would consider
them the AC/DC of Hardcore Metal. The songs are just ass-kicking
rock when you break it down. They also remind me a bit of Swiss
Metalhead "Gurd", who have a similar no-nonsense approach
to the Metal. They add a strait-up rock beat to some songs,
grinding guitars and some groovy grooves. This band should have
a universal appeal like Entombed, Motorhead and Cathedral. They
don't fit one genre and their songs are so fucking memorable
it hurts!
