Frist album released by for today, personally one of my favorite albums they’ve released. This came out in 2008 they were hardly known back then it’s crazy how much they’ve changed. The vocals on this album aren’t really that clear, the guitar riffs and instruments really make the album worth listening too and more of the metal push. The album artwork is kind of different in a sense of being a Christian band, so it has to have something to do with Christianity in some way. For a first release album this was really good to listen to and a joy to hear. The intro to the album is pretty heavy and straight forward which is always nice to listen too. A few songs that stick out on the album have to be, Infantry, Agape, Higher Standards and With A Passion Burning. Infantry was a good first song to start off the album kind of shows off their metal roots very well and nicely. The screamers style in almost every song is the same but kind of gives off the death metal vibe in a few songs. The instrumental song on this album is calm and relaxed it was kind of a random thing to hear on the album, new to say the least and after that the song Words Of Hope gives back the heaviness and the metal feeling back to the album. To say the least the album was really good for a debut album, it was well written too.
Breakdown:
Screams: The screams in some songs give off a death-metal
vibe, others it does not. But Mattie’s style is pretty decent to listen to it
doesn’t really get old just better as the album goes on.
Cleans: The vocals show up in some songs but not all of
them, the style of the clean vocals is somewhat new and different, but no
fully. Most of the time with the clean vocals are coming in with the screams
are right in front of the clean vocals flow, they kind of stick together on a
flow.
Instruments: Besides the intro and instrumental the album is
heavy and stays with its metals roots, the instrumental just happens to be soft
and the intro happen to be even heavier than most of the songs on the album which is a great way
to start off an album. The last song kind of ends soft though but has heavy
drumming to go with it.
