The roots are still deeply clamped into the hardcore.
Like the influences of such bands as At The Gates or In Flames.
The problem is that "Romeo And Juliet..." doesn't sound as an hardcore record at all. Neither as a metal one. It's emotional and sharpy as the melodic swedish school teaches, it's aggressive as a hardcore record must be.
But it's more like the songs were thought for a classic orchestra. More as the band freed from every structural restriction that every micro label brings, but without turning upside down the essence of the music.
There is everything proper of a death-core band you could find in Face The Fact as well, but there is nothing of Face The Fact you could find in a death-core band.
The point is that this album is one of the most crosswise emotional and exciting i have ever had the chance to listen to.
It really comes out at the distance, every listening will make it a different experience, more completed and faceted, till you'll find out to be completely addicted to it.
