About This Album
Riffs that continuously lurch forward and back, vocals that sound like gunk bubbling up through your drain pipe, and rhythms so complex and unpredictable that Einstein would've been a fan -- all of these elements are on display throughout the 2008 release by A Thousand Times Repent, Virtue Has Few Friends. While the sextet (which includes a three-man guitar attack -- something not all that common in the realm of extreme metal) specializes primarily in the aforementioned style, the bandmembers also have a few surprises up their sleeves. Case in point: the track "A Band of Hunters Stalk in Edo," which starts off with the group's trademark style before taking a left turn seemingly out of nowhere into tranquil, almost emo-ish terrain. But don't be misled; A Thousand Times Repent are much more about brutality than melody -- so be prepared before committing to Virtue Has Few Friends. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
