by Jeff Porter, Hidden Gems.
Eat your crayons up,
Step away from the Window
and Get ya helmet off !
Ive got all the Therapy you'll need Right Here !!
I Suggest you Download Deliverance, the New Single from the insane one's in the 2.0 !!!
From the Start this Groove fest of a track leaves you felling violated !
Full of Riffs, and breakdowns, this New Single is Breath Taking.
Hooky Vocal lines and Melodys, often forgotten by bands in this Genre, gel with a crunching Arrangement and structure.
It Grabs, molests and Kidnaps you.
Forcing you into a middle 8 stomp fest, that'll get you into A&E Faster than a Student protest in London !
This is the 1st release from the 2.0's EP "PERSEVERANCE" and I for 1 cant wait to hear the rest ... !

“A very fine band, with all the corners covered. Guitar riffs that stick in your mind and a cool approach to the solos.
I have seen this band live and it is here where they literally come ALIVE. The lead singer is a great front man, ranging from dark brooding to menacing with complete focus. The rest of the band for the canvass on which he paints the picture, using many shades of black and grey...
Their songs stick in your head after one or two listens, favouring a groove based approach that gets you moving on the first listen, after which the song opens itself up to you, taking you along for the ride and refusing you to get off until they are done.
Check them out live”

Scout review road run ner records, signmetoroadrunnerrecords
“Reveal Me
Score: 7/10
I like the beat on this song because its making this song sound groovy and very lively. The sound of the distortion in this song makes this song sound aggressive but the riff is very clear and the melodies are well defined too which is good. The singer sounded very aggressive and intense but linear to the tune of the instrumentation in the background which is good.”

“THIS IS A WAR
This track had really exciting lyrics and the darkness of the instrumentation was definitely very pleasing to listen to; the vocal style was spine grabbing, the band sound tight and seasoned. The guitar lead at 2:55 was absolutely superb.”

Review This is a war, SLICETHEPIE
“Phew! Tight as a gnat's neck-brace! Boulder-crunching force and unison here, yet every inflection, nuance and lyric remaining distinct WITHOUT sacrifice to the fire. Cracking stuff! Thank YOU Mad Hatter 2.0”

“Mad Hatter 2.0 is once again ripping it up with with another power new song that is stronger than another. You'll never get bored listening to any of their art because they have their own unique style that is a mastermind leaving you scream...ing louder for more. This new song, 'Take Me Away' is filled with hooks, raspy but clean vocals, drums that are solid and bass lines that follow and one thing for sure Mad Hatter 2.0 won't have me walking away from their display of metal rawness with flavor that it out of this world. If you want to hear metal that will make you slam your friend against the wall this is the band for you to check out.

“TAKE ME AWAY !
No thanks i wanna hit Play, turn it up and Stay !
Do these guys ever Stop and Breathe ? !!!
Right from the off the new track from the 4 piece unit Grabs you and trys to choke you into listening !
Riffs, growls, snapping fills and bass line hooks. Drive this song through a journey of metal, to a place that just leaves you wanting more..
Old skool influences drop in and out and then get dismissed as an after thought within the structure. Building up to a middle 8 stomp fest guaranteed to make any brain dead metal loving freak start banging thier head ! More of the same please guys \m/”

“I’ve been a supporter and a fan of Mad Hatter 2.0 ever since I came across them on You Tube this year. With their new line-up change they’re sicker, atrocious and will never be terrified to write with authority about anything. They never f...ear to touch topics that others would. As I sit on my metal throne, I await to see more metal punches into your face leaving you bloody and crawling back for more punishment with their new track, ‘This Is A War’ that’s filled with soaring and heavy riffs, pounding drumming that penetrates right through my heart with bass lines that back it up, vocals that are raw, clean and with conviction. Wanting to give some individuals a round house kick to their throats but I would rather wait to see Mad Hatter 2.0 rip it up with more metal songs that will make your mouth drop to the floor.

“
It seems even with a line up change and a string of live shows to prepare for, you just cant keep these guys quiet..
The New track from the guys in Devon, is quite simply Brutal !
THIS IS A WAR Reeks of Anger and energy. From the opening Scream through to the crunching Main Riff, you find yourself reliving all those times you just wanted to scream this at the so called loved one in your life !
CLEAR CRISP AND TO THE POINT !!!!
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A WAR

“Subject SPELLBOUND Mad Hatter 2.0...
Compared with the other tracks on their pages the track SPELLBOUND adheres to the age old Saying "Less is more".
Dark moody Guitar riffs, a flowing arrangement, haunting effects on the Bass and a vocal melody line that leaves you numb and needing to grab the lyrics, press play and listen again ...
It has become obvious to me after listening to all of their material in the order the tracks were released, that the main songwriters within the band,are really finding their feet .
All thats left is to do is RUN !
I AM SPELLBOUND ...”

“ Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Your reflections bring happiness that rends naked glass. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Your eyes are like spheres of crystal water filled with shimmering dreams. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm.

“Subject ... "Reveal Me" Mad Hatter 2.0.
Yet another Amazing Track from the guys in the UK.
When i hear this track i really wish i could play the guitar because as always, the riffs, feel and crunch comes flooding through and makes you want to grab a hand full of Axe !!!
The Arrangement of the track means that the Drums and Bass link and flow effortlessly together providing the platform for the vocals to cut you in half. WHY ARNT THESE GUYS SIGNED ???????????”
