CRITIC REVIEWS

Rather than fix what isn't broken, Radical finds the group doubling down and levelling-up their expansive, swaggering metalcore in every way possible.

Radical is by no means a reinvention or revelation for the band, but I wouldn't want it to be. In refusing to fix what ain't broke, ETID prove themselves once more as the reigning king of their peculiar, blood-splattered bouncy-castle.

Their sound is mercurial, ever-evolving and never settling into a pattern from moment to moment as chaos is allowed to reign.

Not sure I like it more than low teens (one of my favourite metalcore records) but this is definitely an amazing lp. I really fucking love it
seriously, what a good album.
I don't know how I went so long without listening to any of this band's work, but I ended up going through this album on spotify, I got interested, I listened and I didn't regret a second.
this album is 52 minutes of pure good metalcore that keeps you on your toes from start to finish, with not a single bad track. great project.
