so I i just bought this new cd and i just started listening to it for the first time right now and its pretty good so far. I haven't listened to them much before but i knew the were under the same label as August Burns Red and Underoath so i thought they would be good. They have a sound like most screamo bands but have clear vocal too. some of the sound to it is kind of alternative sounding but it works. The scream is similar to August Burns Red but not as clear. The song Travesty is the first song i listened to and felt the feeling, you know that good feeling when you know you like a band and it brings you a slight smile ya well i felt that. the song has an interesting balance between clear vocal and scream and it just spoke to me. I felt a little bored by the first few songs because it seemed to sound the same. I love the sound of screamo but i love it when songs can be mixed up with new sounds because that shows true talent. Im not trying to say i dont like this band because i do but i just feel ive heard better. The song White as snow is really good i like the clear vocal with this song there is no screaming in this one but the music is all hard and it is interesting because normally when a screamo band decides to have a song with clear vocal they would make it slower but they used the metal sound and put the soft vocal to it and it wasn't bad . The song Walk With a Crooked Spine reminds me a lot of Oh, Sleeper's sound it has the same guitar sound as the song World Without the Sun. Ok now here is the song that shows more talent in mixing up sounds, the song My Name is Darkness starts with a cool sound kind of techno-like but it also kind of reminds me of the song White Washed by August Burns Red. I feel like this band started by being inspired by other bands and take their sounds and attempt to make them their own. What really upsets me is that when i bought this cd it said it was on sale but when they rang it up it was more then i thought then i just bought it and i didnt realize what happened till i got home later and i was already to far from the store, and i thought it was on sale because God knew it would be good for me but it was just worse so i hope God has something else in store to make up for it.
