German version:
"The disease you breed" muss von einem anderen Planeten kommen auf dem die Schwerkraft doppelt so hoch ist. Hier ist alles heavy wie sau. Die Gitarren, die Drums, der Sänger und die gesamte, sehr professionelle Produktion.
Geboten wird Melodic Death mit teilweise Clean-Gesang (manche nennen's wohl metalcore). Besonders gefällt mir das Album dann, wenn es den Jungs gelingt Spannung aufzubauen und dann in einem melodischen Höhepunkt zu explodieren. Dabei finde ich vor allem die Parts mit Clean-Gesang gelungen. Davon dürfte mehr vorhanden sein. Für meinen Geschmack wird ein bisschen zu viel gegrunzt.
Besonders geil finde ich "Blood Matrix", "Malice to Alice" und "Visions..."
Hoffentlich kommt bald noch mehr. Die 4 präsentierten Songs sind auf jeden Fall stark!
English Version:
"The disease you breed" must come from another planet where the gravity is twice as high.Everything is heavy as clean. The guitars, the drums, the singer and the whole, very professional production.
Melodic Death will be offered with some clean vocals (some call it's metal core). I particularly like the album, if it manages to build tension and then the guys to go off in a melodic climax.And I think especially the successful parts with clean vocals. Of these, more likely to be present. For my taste is a bit too much grunted.
Especially cool I think "Blood Matrix," "Malice to Alice" and "Visions ..."
Hopefully coming soon more. The four songs presented are strong in any case! - German Press

"There's something about Saint Avarice that is very reminiscing to that thrash period as if it was done in 2010. ...something very sincere and kind of authentic about Saint Avarice's element of that. It's got elements of allot of the shit we love. ...this element of thrash music with a soul. ...metal with a soul. ...which is why it sets it apart."
- Laz Pina of Latin Metal Band Ill Nino.
"I'd describe [Saint Avarice] as American Metal. I think Modern American Metal has heaviness, groove, and intensity. They have a certain technical ability that they strive for and it's present in the music. American Metal has a little more grit to it, it's a little more closer to the ground, a little more working class and I think that's where [Saint Avarice] are coming from. I was impressed." - Doc Coyle of God Forbid

Bio
Founded in 2007 by guitarist and songwriter, Elviz Christ, Saint Avarice has evolved into a six piece metal band from Northern, NJ, USA. The band credits its influences to the likes of thrash and speed metal giants, Slayer, power groove specialists, Lamb of God, the melodic metal institution of Killswitch Engage, and the brutality of death metal legends, Cannibal Corpse. The impact and impression of the aforementioned can be felt all throughout Saint Avarice's musical style.
August 2, 2010 marked the release of "Malice to Alice", a three song single in support of their full-length, "The Disease You Breed", which was released on 11/01/10. The debut album features 10 searing tracks; soulful brutality seething with aggression that's sure to please metal-heads far and wide.

Currently, Saint Avarice are working on a new album to be released in 2012. It's expected that there will be some musical changes with new writers coming on board. "The Disease You Breed" was written musically almost entirely by Elviz Christ and for the new album, the band is looking forward to a new approach to writing. Fans should expect many similar elements to be present as Elviz Christ will still be using his signature style for writing. In addition, there will be many new musical elements introduced with Aaron Cloutier, Brian Reaper, Johnny D., and Bruno Almeida bringing their writing talents on board.
After all the growing pains this band has endured, Saint Avarice are unbreakable and still prove to be purveyors of metal for the modern day. This is a band that is built to last and remain of the best of the best because Saint Avarice will have it no other way!
