Label: Dead Vibrations Industry, RMI Sweden

Bio: Achilles hails from the cold north of Europe – the small Swedish town Oskarshamn. The five piece group deliveres furious crust metal with d-beats mixed with crushing mosh and agressive, yet experimental, post rock.

The group consists of Michael Buskas (First Cut) on vocals, Michael Nilsson (ex. ... See Full Bio

Press

“The new album is a step into the weirder side of the Achilles' spectrum. In the first track “Chasing the Faith” it’s like they’ve eaten the same pills as Converge ets when they record an album. Still the band operates on high speed in other songs, yet the songs are catchier without losing the aggression and experiment.”

— Maurice, AsIce Hardcore E-Zine

“From Oskarshamn, Achilles opens first track in a furious pace, not unlike what His Hero Is Gone muster in their most point moments, but abruptly breaks off with quiet vocals. The contrast is total and it is a pretty good indication of what awaits the rest of the disc. The guys still in the absolute wildest manglet find a way to sneak in tunes without disturbing. D-rate basis to act, but every now and then explodes in a group moshparti and not infrequently with a friend singing in the background loop. It may sound strange, but it really works. Tracks like "The Deadly Sleep" and "Chasing The Faith" is both explosive and clings on.”

— James Ekholm, Close Up Magazine #118

“Sweden’s strongest force is back with their third and most aggressive release to date. Achilles (formally known as Achilles Last Stand) has taken their music to the next level. The songs have a structure that blends progmetal a là Mastodon with the dark sound of His Hero Is Gone. This ends up in a furious attack of pure punk/metal.”

— InterPunk.com

“Tillsammans med Last Stand i bandnamnet försvann också den snudd på övertända hardcoren från Oskarshamnsbandet. I stället ger den här tredje plattan känslan av ett mål som uppnåtts, en debut som ska ses som helt egen. Det finns en modern death metal-tråd rakt igenom skivan, mycket tack vare Henrik Björkmans sånginsats som kontrasterar Michael Buskas desperata growl. Irriterade, snabba, tunga och melodiösa låtar kopplas samman till en riktigt skönt producerad platta. Favoritspår är Your Hope och avslutande Rats, två rejäla landmärken. Det här är skivan som kan göra Achilles publika på ett helt nytt sätt.”

— Pelle Johansson, Barometern
