Victory Records has reported to Decapolis that they have signed Montreal, Quebec's most aggressive metalcore band, A Perfect Murder. Formed in 2000 from the ashes of Downfall of Man and A Death For Every Sin, A Perfect Murder delves deep into the annals of classic metal for inspiration, drawing from Metallica, Testament and Pantera as well as groove-based southern legends Crowbar and Down, flawlessly combining metal, rock, hardcore and thrash to incite complete mosh pit mayhem and unity in their audience at the same time. Their three-guitar attack is ballsy to say the least, and vocalist Frank Pellerin emits a low, screamed growl that is considered the best on the Canadian hardcore scene. A Perfect Murder wasted little time after their formation, recording the EP "Blood Covered Words" and grabbing the attention of fans and press in Canada first, and shortly thereafter in the U.S. They signed to the Ontario-based Goodfellow Records and soon released "Cease To Suffer" which greatly accelerated the buzz on the band. Lambgoat.com joined the charge, raving, "Cease To Suffer is so infectious with its multitude of guitar solos, including an instrumental ballad, that only if and when it is pried from my cold, dead hands would I cease to spin it. Finally a band has been properly influenced by rock and metal unlike the mass of untalented clones that endlessly and sadly saturate the current play lists. I will go on record less than halfway through the year and regard "Cease To Suffer" as my pick for debut album of 2003."
