Although the name Tard doesn't exactly lend itself to be taken seriously, one listen to the vicious metal that these Canucks play and you will be floored. Something of a mix between Cryptopsy and Fuck the Facts, the band plays a vicious form of death metal based on quick tempos and rhythmic crunch. Add in some technical elements and an annihilating vocal performance and this is one hell of a death metal album. -UNBOUND ZINE
