Underoath-Anthology-1999-2013They are no longer … October 2012 Underoath made known to call it a day and they were to say goodbye to the fans via a farewell tour and a career-spanning compilation album.

If there is one thing that ‘Anthology 1999-2013′ does, it is providing an overview of the entire career of the band as well as illuminating the musical development of Underoath. In the early years the band made quirky metalcore with hardcore, black, death and math metal influences, to a more melodic metalcore sound, screamo, emocore, the band finally ended up with fluent rock/post-hardcore tracks. The rich colours of their sound are wonderfully displayed through this overview. Continue reading »

demonhunterdefianceDemon Hunter over the years, have made themselves a household name in the industry. Formed in 2000 out of Seattle, they have been instrumental in shaping an industry in terms of their influence in the music world. Over their lifespan their music has taken noted steps of maturity. Though not the most ground breaking unit out there, their albums seem to always catch the heart of their fans, and one can rely on their consistency to bring home a album that will satisfy.

What “True Defiance” brings is a clean, polished album of all the right bells and whistles shuffled into what one would expect from a Demon Hunter record. Heavy verses and clean singing choruses abound. Ryan Clark is a great vocalist, and he proves it again on this album, with his polished style of delivery that is fuelled with energy and commitment, and is a major strength base to each of the songs on the album.

August Burns Red Presents: Sleddin’ Hill, A Holiday Album

Releasing an entire album of Christmas and Holiday tunes can be a rather daunting challenge for any band, let alone a metalcore band known for epic breakdows, chugging guitar riffs, and intense, screaming vocal like August Burns Red.

ABR has released Christmas songs in the past few years as singles during the Holiday season and had the time and energy to go into the studio and put together a full-length collection featuring new versions of those tunes, some traditional favorites, and a couple newly written tracks. The familiar ABR sound is here with the exception of vocals as all but one song is an instrumental, but their approach to the songs works very well and doesn’t overwhelm the material. The result is a collection of Holiday music that any fan of metal, metalcore, and even just guitar-driven music will enjoy. Continue reading »

Becoming The Archetype – I AM

One of the biggest challenges that could face a band is when the line up has several changes over the course of its existence (The last remaining original, founding members of the band, bassist, lead vocalist Jason Wisdom & drummer Brent Duckett left the band late 2011). Effectively having the potential to alter the DNA the band is synonymous for, or has become popularized through.

The result could either impact negatively, or be a refreshingly leap that is both effective and inspiring, charting a new course that could take them to the next level. The result is that their sixth release, “I am” is an album that I find effectively balances precariously between the two. The Current line up stands currently as, Seth Hecox – rhythm guitar, keyboards, clean vocals, Daniel Gailey – lead guitar, backing vocals, Chris McCane – lead vocals, Codey Watkins – bass and Chris Heaton – drums, percussion.
