Diecast Models
Diecast's intensely forged sound has evolved over the five years since the nucleus of the band first formed. Originally part of Boston's underground hardcore scene, their output has matured into a mind-blowing composite of metal, rock and hardcore idioms. After a wild succession of 17 guitarists, the current line-up has been carved in stone for over two years now, with each and every member seriously smoldering on their acclaimed 2001 full-length release Day of Reckoning on Now Or Never Records.
Produced by Paul Trust (Endo, Crease), the album brilliantly gives voice to Diecast's genre bending, crossover cacophony of powerhouse riffs, breakdowns and vocal hooks. It has won across-the-board raves from metal and hardcore aficionados alike. CMJ editor Amy Sciaretto called it "A full-blown, methamphetamine laced, mainstream metalcore jewel." Of the crushing track "Singled Out," which spent five weeks at #1 on the tastemaker trade's Loud Rock chart, she said it "Sounds perfect for commercial airplay without sacrificing any moshpit sincerity.
