The Network - This Is Your Pig's Portrait Review

The New Hampshire band The Network blasts upon the scene with their scorching debut. This Is Your Pig's Portrait is a memorable title, and the band does their best to make the rest of the album as memorable. The songs are a twisted amalgamation of hardcore, metal, metalcore, noisecore and death metal.

The Network wraps elements of melody within dissonant guitar riffs, breakdowns and blast beats. And with four different vocalists there's never a shortage of noise. The main vocals are lower pitched hardcore shrieks, with the other guys chiming in with everything from high pitched screams to death metal growls.
