Reuben

‘Look like tramps, sound like Kings’

Reuben are a three-piece musical group from United Kingdom. Their music can be said to be a fusion of alt-rock and hevy metal, as their songs cover a variety of styles, ranging from heavy and upbeat, such as their 2005 single “Blamethrower” to slower, more melodic songs such as their 2004 single “Moving to Blackwater”. The former style of song often features vocalist Jamie switching between shouting and whispering, a technique often used in heavy metal and post-hardcore music.

Destroy the Runner – I, Lucifer

April 15, 2008

destroy the runner’s new album was released today.

i’m listening to it for the first time now and it’s incredibly generic melodic metalcore, so basically they sound like still remains with less synths and haste the day with hardly any screaming.
oh well… it makes for some decent background music.

Darkest Hour – Deliver Us

March 4, 2008

Deliver Us is the fifth studio album by Darkest Hour. This album hits you in the face with pure guitar skill, with tapping and six-string sweeps abound. In addition, there are a great many guitar solos – with a sound and speed reminiscent of DragonForce – yet the band doesn’t forget their death metal/metalcore roots. There are still plenty of fast heavy riffs that will leave metalheads satisfied. For drummers, there are plenty of insane double-kick tricks. The penultimate track, ‘Full Imperial Collapse’ features an especially experimental and improvisational feel, especially in the guitar solo. Much like their previous release, Undoing Ruin, the two major standout tracks on the album are the first and the last, ‘Doomsayer (The Beginning of the End)’ and the title track, respectively.

Underoath – Define The Great Line

February 26, 2008

Underoath

Very rarely does a monumental record find itself matched with the promise of commercial success. But the strength, intensity, and explosive lure of Underoath’s follow up to its 2004 breakthrough “They’re Only Chasing Safety” is undeniable.

Crafted with the help of producer Matt Goldman, and Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, this album was destined for greatness from the very beginning. The 6 members of Underoath were all pushed to new heights in the recording studio. The veterans were challenged to use E-bows, orchestral bows, and experimental effects pedals. The resulting “Define The Great Line” is a mind-blowing song-cycle infused with spiritual power that resets the notion of what heavy music can be.

And if it’s that spiritualness that sets Underoath’s fierce, foot-stomping metallic drive (see Returning Empty Handed) apart from its peers, perhaps guitarist Tim McTague puts it best when he talks about the real rewards of being in one of the biggest genre-bending bands today.

“For me, the kids that we meet at shows who come up to us and tell us, ‘I was going to kill myself and then I heard this song of yours that changed my life around spiritually.’ Or even the one who said, ‘I had no one to turn to when my parents divorced, but your record got me through it.’ That’s what it’s all about for me.”
