![]() Songs such as “On Any Other Day” and the title track embrace the longstanding overlap of post-hardcore and post-rock, the more hectic and energetic screaming sections nicely contrasted by the passages of serene downtime. There is a central post-hardcore/screamo core to Fragment, but musically it is very strongly oriented towards delicate, tranquil, atmospheric music in the vein of post-rock and shoegaze, containing ample dainty tremolo and clean guitar work. Curiously enough, despite these tracks now being clearly demarked from one another, there’s arguably more stylistic consistency here than there was on The Longing Machine.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we do check out some other stuff from time to time some of us are more poptimistic than others, but there's a whole world out there aside from Satan-worshiping black metal and dragon-slaying power metal. ![]() That being said, we'd be lying if we stuck to our trve-kvlt guns and claimed that metal is the only thing we ever listen to. We here at Metal Storm pride ourselves on our thousands of metal reviews and interviews and article metal is our collective soul and passion, which is why we bother with this junk.
