The Famine is an intense Christian metalcore band, among the likes of Demon Hunter and Haste the Day. It's a decent band in terms of technical expertise, but their music shines above average in intensity and the depth of lyrics.
The songs focus on the theme of gluttony and vice, and the drawbacks of such behavior. It's got a overall dark and unhappy tone, but has impressive instrumentals backed up by good lyrics, and the song titles don't hurt any (unless "Consume, Devour, Repeat", and "Death Threat" are too dark) when it comes to conveying the intensity of the message and sound.
A 4/5, though it can be a bit of a culture shock for people accustomed to lighter music (When I started listening, just as when I started listening to Demon Hunter, it seemed incredibly dark and angry, until you penetrate the shell to discover the meaning.
