The album adds nothing new to the genre.
Fire From The Gods Punch Back In A Dying Genre
While vocalist AJ Channer has a steady flow in his Jamaican-style rapping, his growls and screaming still need a little practice. However, guitarists Jameson Teat and Drew Walker match his vocals and the heaviness he's trying to portray. They may not be at the levels of their producer just yet, but they're not a long way from that. Lyric subjects range from racial discrimination to following an unfit society, which line up to today's current events and issues. Recommended for fans of Sevendust and Skindred who want something new.

How religious dogma can appear under any situation
A heartbreaking documentary following three ex-Hasidic Jews, who are attempting to fight fanaticism within the ultra-orthodox community. From ex-communication, to rape, abuse, and kangaroo justice, the film shows how a wall of secrecy allows discrimination and zealotry to thrive.

In one story, a woman with seven children, who was abused by her husband and even at one point was run down whilst on her bicycle, because she tried to get a divorce through the court system. It's grim to say the least. Another young adult describes being raped as a child by a teacher, who was allowed to continue to work despite the claims.

The documentary is truly shocking and shows that extremism is reactive and can breed under any society and circumstance.

I'm a big fan of some of the Netflix documentaries, they're rather outstanding just because the content is very different.
