Have you ever heard of "torture porn" before? Its not actually porn, its just what some people call a subgenre of horror films where the shock value to these movies comes from is their exploitation of physical torture in its various forms. So I will be the first music critic to classify the music of HALF8N as "torture Korn" since the band tries half-heartedly to have a sound similar to KORN but after all is said and done, listening to the music is pure torture. So much so that "Militant" should be against the Gevena Convention.

How does one go about even pronouncing the name of this band. "Half-Aten"? Is that an intentional misuse of the past tense of the verb 'eat'? Perhaps the numeric '8' is supposed to symbolize something. The number eight sort of looks like an ass so maybe the band's name is really "Half-Assin'" as in "We are really Half-Assin' this record we put out". HALF8N apparently didn't get the memo that Nu-Metal is so out of touch with all of contemporary music, even its commercially successful hay day, it should be illegal to make that kind of music in the year 2014. Even bands like SYSTEM OF A DOWN, COAL CHAMBER and SLIPKNOT evolved as the years went on so that by 2006, the year of HALF8N's formation, those bands had become something else outside of the alternative metal scene.
