React With Protest
For all of those metal unbelievers out there, who hesitate before picking up a hardcore album, I present you Colossus, an EP drenched in sludgy heaviness that might just convert you.
Like its mythological reference, Titan's walking the earth with a familiar shape, both heavy and epic. It is a wall of muscular and inhuman aggression, laid back at a steady, monumental pace. It is gigantic, punishing, and decisive.
Toronto Titan plays some crossover between mid-'00s sludge and late '90s hardcore. This EP is heavier and slower (not like doom... just less hardcore) than what else I heard from the band. References to Ottawa's Buried Inside might be a appropriate, although Titan clearly points in a different direction.
If I'd rate this album, I'd give extra points for its overall design. From the photography to the layout, and from the choice of cardboard to the decision to release it on vinyl, it is what I consider a "complete" piece of art.
