Life Cried grabs you by the balls and never let’s go! Their tour de force of brutal sonic assaults and relentless aggression is however tempered by an almost tender and vulnerable sensibility. Their new album merges heavy electronics with alternative/metal elements and transcends the Industrial genre. Chris Reject manages to express his fear and anguish through surprisingly undistorted voice. His pain is real and heartfelt and blends perfectly with the powerful tracks that give him the dramatic backdrop for his performance. This alone makes "If I don't wake up" a standout album. But they offer so much more. This is a deeply emotional album with a powerful message of loss and suffering. Life Cried is carving out their own path into the future - they deploy every weapon in their arsenal of musical expression. They don't shy away to explore new territory but they stay true themselves. Honest, in your face and without regret!
