COLISEUM – House With a Curse
reviewed by Jake Benjamin
Coliseum is a niche band, the kind of music that is a home run or a strikeout depending on the taste of the listener — there is little room for middle ground. Abrasive guitars, the kind of singing that makes the listener’s throat hurt, pounding, ever-present drums, and screeching solos round out a very intense sound. But this album is, in terms of its genre, a departure — how hardcore are violins? Not very, yet they’re not even noticeable throughout “Isela Vega,” just seamlessly worked into the mix. That in and of itself is an achievement.
