LINE UP YOUR LIES

"AT TIMES OF PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR" (Album Review in Highwire Daze Zine!)By: Count GoreBoarAre you ready for an all out war or brutal assault on your senses? Then your ears should be set for the sonic blast that is Line Up Your Lies! This trio from Hesperia, CA. takes you right into the battlefields with guns loaded and drawn. The Ak-47 rapid fire blast beats of Brent Ventimiglia’s drums tears up any atmosphere while the switch of Don Barber’s highs and Gio Trujillo’s low growl drive the war chants home, and not to mention the amazing blistering speed of the strings with technical changes and fist pumping chants. The entire album is a fierce soundtrack to war, starting with the sample of the first track (Dying for Life); especially, since it sets up the mood: “Men are going to get killed today, and I am going to kill them.” The sheer intensity of the music grips your neck and will not set you free until those nine tracks finish their course. The recording is very crisp and the clarity of the music is uncanny. I can hear all of the changes and the vocals are not muddied with the music but the union of the sound is very clean. It’s really hard to find metal bands that really pay attention to their sound; especially the local bands that cater to home recordings, but you can tell that these guys not only got professionals to record their album, but professionals to master it as well. .Line Up Your Lies’s cover of Suffer the Children (Napalm Death) is not only their own, but the track compliments the integrity and sound of the great Grindcore Gods that is Napalm Death. They pay homage and do not disappoint. If you like Grindcore or extreme metal then I would advise you to definitely give Line Up Your Lies a listen. Take care and take control.
