"Trap Them may have finally closed the gaping hole Entombed created and unfortunately fell into after they ruled the death ‘n’ roll roost for two unbelievable albums. Yeah, Trap Them sport Starbucks barista hairdos, but their punk/hardcore ethos infuses a brutal sense of urgency into what could be but isn’t a snore-inducing barrage of buzzing guitars, throat-eviscerating vocals, and foot-shuffling, d-beated drums.


Trap Them kind of rule. They’re not terribly dynamic, but when music for sheetrocking, traffic wrangling, or ass-kicking is required, well, there’s no better alternative," Decibel writes.


'Darker Handcraft' is due out March 8th on vinyl and March 15th on CD via Prosthetic Records.
