REVIEW: Sylar – ‘Seasons’

Matthew Powers
On their third full-length, rap-rockers Sylar pack an arsenal of stadium-ready riffs and a shot of tried-and-true to initiate their change in “Seasons”. After declaring “Help!” in 2015, Sylar are detailing the next step in moving forward on their new record, Seasons – change. Beginning down the path to alternative metal and pure rap-rock from the […]

REVIEW: Ice Nine Kills – ‘The Silver Scream’

Matthew Powers
Ice Nine Kills bring a sense of fun and inspired frenzy to metalcore on horror movie-inspired romp, ‘The Silver Scream’. This is a band that loves the b-movie style of over-the-top humor and gore found in the 70’s and 80’s, so it makes total sense that they would encompass such a topic on their fifth […]

ALBUM: The Wise Man’s Fear – “The Lost City”

Matthew Powers
On their sophomore “sequel” effort, ‘The Lost City’, Indiana’s The Wise Man’s Fear find ways to be both brutal and beautiful, sometimes in the same minute. Preferring a strict metalcore approach over the current trends in the wider expanses of their scene, TWMF play a cinematic and crushing form of the genre dubbed “fantasycore”, grabbing […]

ALBUM: Our Last Night – ‘Selective Hearing’

Matthew Powers
Being the prime example of a contemporary post-hardcore group, Our Last Night have spent a copious amount of time honing their sound. Choosing to focus on releasing admittedly solid covers of anything from current pop hits to 60’s rock classics the last two years, these hard-working fellas took their time in pushing new original material […]

ALBUM: Of Mice & Men – ‘Cold World’

Matthew Powers
The leaders of the late 2000’s metalcore scene have been finding various ways of progressing onward from a strictly ‘core-influenced sound. With the death of one trend comes the birth of another which brings the topic of more ‘mature’ music styles to light. Since figuring out there’s more to being heavy than breakdowns, Of Mice […]

ALBUM: Crown The Empire – ‘Retrograde’

Matthew Powers
1
Taking a big, bold step into the unknown is the main theme of the new Crown The Empire album, Retrograde. For the band, this means a major change of direction. For the fans, this means uncertainty. Depending on how the average listener of Crown The Empire’s past albums decides to look at Retrograde‘s departure from […]

ALBUM: I See Stars – ‘Treehouse’

Matthew Powers
The most noteworthy point that can be made about I See Stars is that they have always seeked to change the way music as a whole is looked at. In an age where genre splicing is as common as explosions in a Michael Bay movie, the I See Stars boys have used trends and modern […]

ALBUM: Devildriver – ‘Trust No One’

Matthew Powers
It’s hard to listen to the new Devildriver record and not recognize a superior killing machine in a mode of complete annihilation. Despite major line-up changes that occurred after the Winter Kills album cycle, the band we hear on Trust No One is very much still the DevilDriver fans know and love, but enhanced to […]
