A Natural Death
**
Mixing traditional metal sounds and 8-bit video-game synth effects, the Orange County metalcore band attempts to defy convention on this upcoming August CD. Instead, the manic sounds come off as overproduced and overly technical. Simply put, the Horse should put away the Nintendo and just rock out.
At Fire Fest day two with XBishopX, Belay My Last, She Turned Us Into Trees!, My Bitter End and others. June 18, noon, $25. Fort Cheyenne Events Center.
