The gritty hardcore punk rock act, "Since By Man," is back with another album of, adrenaline pumping music. Pictures from the Hotel Apocalypse is an in-your-face collection of songs that cannot be ignored. Heavy, metal influenced guitars are present throughout this album. Vocalist Sam Macon's guttural screams remain strong with every track. The vocal and musical performance never weakens in this album; each track is as powerful as the one before it. However, this level of intensity may be too much for some listeners. If you're looking for a more mild-mannered pop/punk album, than Pictures from the Hotel Apocalypse is not for you.
