Seldom does a band debut as strong as Canada’s Allguilty. Despite its hardcore sounding moniker and its modern metal looking artwork “Primary Color Solution†is an impressive slab of groovy technical death metal, slight electronics and blunt powerviolence. Thrusting their assault forward with both blasting power and unconventional melody, broad comparisons can be made to Belgium’s Emeth (“Reticulated†era) and in their more forward thinking sections bands like Burnt By the Sun and Cephalic Carnage Vocally, the powerviolence is most obvious as influences from Benümb and Crowbar are noticeable. Structurally, Allguilty have most in common with the likes of (classic) Morbid Angel, Krisiun and Decapitated as far as riffing is concerned and drum-wise (early) Cryptopsy and Kataklysm can be recognized. Allguilty know how to write an engaging song and aren’t afraid to look out of the box when doing so. All tracks of this record go through multiple tempo changes, bouncing in and out of subgenres – all while remaining coherent, groovy and catchy to boot. With multiple vocal styles, fitting electronics and an uncanny feel for dynamics this act is able to take a genre and make it feel fresh and exciting again. Lyrically, the band avoids the typical genre subjects and its abstract lay-out only serve to accentuate the individuality of this unit. The production of “Primary Color Solution†is nothing short of amazing. All instruments sit equally in the mix while maintaining an incredible level of clarity, texture and depth. On all aspects Allguilty have delivered an album that will possibly set the global metal scene on fire with its clinical precision, singular vision and impressive technical finesse.
Thank you, so much wouter, we are so happy. A reviewer who give us time to totally understand who we are. we are deeply moved by this TEAMGUILTY so that the why's we sent that message to him; bro i cry and i have an orgasm, i will read the review the entire night, im serious, we fight so much to do something different and you, you read all the subtility and hidden stuff and sonic adventure the teamguilty did... your words put motivation on, us , you have no idea, how much, man, we go out and scream ours eternal hapiness... you change our life for better as artist
THIS IS what Wouter REPLY TO US; It works both ways, to be honest. As I pointed out in the beginning of the review, there aren't a great deal of accomplished, let alone original young bands out there today. As a reviewer I get to hear so much mediocre and mundane stuff that only once or (at best) twice each year I get the chance to truly hear something exceptional.Your kind words work a positive reinforcement for me as well, like you put so much effort and thought into the music - the same goes for me as (any hardworking, serious) reviewer. Most of the time I get negative feedback on my often critical words; so it's cool to see that there are still bands out there who appreciate my honest views, as I don't "write to please" anyone, band nor label.

Plusieurs amateurs de musique heavy seraient gagnants de découvrir ce genre de bands qui produit de la musique de qualité comparable aux plus gros noms du genre. [Par B.F.]7.7/10
............................................................ ............................................................ ................................ lesaccrosdumetal.com chroniques Habile mélange métallique ultra carré, sommes toute assez simpliste, mais bigrement efficace.
Voila la définition qui devrait apparaître dans le Robert au sujet de "ALLGUILTY"
Parlons donc du mélange. Perso, je dirai : "between the buried and me" et "Despised Icons" pour le hardcore à moitié barré, "Aborted" sans doute pour les riffs à la limite du brutal death de luxe
On retrouve aussi des traces de trash-old-school à la Sepul. Y a du Gojira par moment aussi.
Bon, tout ça pour dire que c'est un beau melting pot de métal en un album.Et c'est pas mal du tout.Très gros son. Surprenant pour une auto-production. Pas de doute, ces Canadiens sont pros de bout en bout.Cela suffira-t-il à en faire un groupe internationalement reconnu ?Pour eux pas de doute."Don't you have delusion of grandeur ?" Ils répondent sobrement : "my dear friend, we will succeed[...] We are impossible, unstoppable and every day we get closer to our goal."Humble; mais pas trop.BON, c'est un très bon groupe. Techniquement impeccable. Mais la reconnaissance internationale... Pas encore.Si vous aimez les groupes mentionnés dans les influs, courrez acheter ce disque. Viiiiiiiiiite.Si vous aimez le bon vieux métal, et que vous avez décidé de vous ouvrir l'esprit en tentant de comprendre nos amis les coreux, achetez ce disque aussi. C'est un bon compromis...L'inverse marche aussi, ami coreux !Si vous avez 13€ sous un coussin du canapé, foncez, c'est pile poil le prix de l'album. (je crois aux signes du destin)La phrase finale sera donc :"Allguilty ça tue, mais desfois non."14/20 [ Chroniqueur ] - Les Accros du Metal

............................................................ ....................................................... REVIEW FROM METALRAGE AT WWW.METALRAGE.COM Hailing from Canada, Allguilty is a deathcore band that self-releases their debut record Primary Color Solution. There is actually a funny story behind the title of this record. The bio states that ‘the rebel sells and always will’. Therefore The Beatles recorded The White Album and Metallica recorded The Black Album. Following in this trend, Allguilty release their Primary Color Solution. The sound this band portrays is brutal deathcore. Which means brutal death metal combined with metal and hardcore grooves. Indeed the name of their fellow countrymen Despised Icon comes to mind Overall the album has a nice brutal sound and a swinging groove next to the fast death metal parts. note 74/100
"Primary Color Solution is a decent debut album that will satisfy the most dedicated deathcore fans out there" Metal-revolution.com / Bato / Denmark

Allguilty Primary Color Solution By Keith Carman
If the bravado Allguilty put forth on Primary Color Solution is mock, this is one of Canada’s most ingenious thrash/grind bands to come tearing out of the underground in almost a decade. Purporting to be poised to take over the music world, they make no bones about their desire to sign to a major label and relish all things superstars revel in. However, they must know that with songs ranging in approach from Divine Intervention-era Slayer (when they were tuned down) to vocals reminiscent of the Haunted, the one-note speed riffs aren’t exactly the most innovative. Their genius is therefore rendered somewhat benign. Still, the expediency, urgency and overbearing low-end of “Mathias,†“Train†and “Bagman†are enjoyable, even above par. It’s rare that a band manage to couple primal aggression with intellectual prowess and create something moving and thought-provoking. Allguilty aren’t quite there yet but maybe a Secondary Color Reparation might clinch the deal. (Independent)

REVIEW BY ARMON
Let's begin with the music. Mature and full of variety. . In the vocals, the emphasis is not necessarily on death, more towards powercore, with frequent ventures into other extreme genres and clean vocals. The band sounds experienced and professional. Good riffs, good teamwork, beautiful solos and a very well produced end result. Aggressive, sensitive at times and with a clear identity. I assume this is their debut. Especially with that factor in mind, this is a pretty good album all together. "for the time being, I am entertained."
"One of the greatest revelations of this moment"

Allguilty from Canada released their all destructive debut album "Primary Color Solution" on mankind. It is quite hard to put a genre on this band. The foundation for their music is hardcore and technical death metal, but they aren't afraid to look outside the box and they integrate different genres in their music e.g. powerviolence. The songs are characterized by crushing blastbeats, groovy breakdowns, melodic passages and lots of tempo changes. Also the vocals are very diverse and the used electronics add some kind of humor to the songs. The production is amazingly well done and with “Primary Color Solution†the band not only delivers a very strong debut album, but also brings a refreshing wind in the metal scene.
