Kingdom Of Giant released their debut album “Every Wave Of Sound”. Kingdom Of Giants, is one of my personal favorite un-signed bands today. They never really let me down with anything they release, which is pretty good for a band to do. Almost every release of theirs, is as great as the last, if not a bit better. Which is something I wondered with the release of this, but after listening to it I can tell you that Kingdom Of Giants wrote one of the better albums to come out this year. I definitely think this release may be talked about for a while, at least until they release another ep or another full length. When they write another full length, I wonder how it’s going to amount to this, and if it will even amount to this. Kingdom Of Giants made a name for themselves with their ep, and they just bettered their name with this release, which will do them some serious good in the long run of being a band. I’m always stoked to see what this band does, and I really hope their next move is signing to a label, and playing some bigger shows. I’m pretty sure they landed on warped tour this year, which really excited me. I hope one day they get to play the whole tour, and not just one show. A few songs that stood out on this album would  be, “My Compromise”, ”Delusionist”, ”Hope”, ”Broken Ocean”, ”Guns And Girls”, and ”Mj Returns”. “My Compromise”, is the first song on the album. It’s the song that really gets the listener hyped and ready to listen to the rest of the album, not only because it’s the first song, but because it has the full power of Kingdom Of Giants. It does this release some serious good. The song not only has the power of Kingdom Of Giants, but for older fans of the band they can see how they've matured and how much better they've gotten with their music. “Delusionist”, is probably my favorite song on this album. It has what almost every Kingdom Of Giant song has; it takes no time for them to get into the song, and they basically go straight into it with no holding back. That is something that Kingdom Of Giants is known for. “Hope”, is sadly the shortest song on the album, and it’s basically kind of an interlude in a way. Throughout the song, you’ll hear a speech from  Charlie Chaplin's movie "The Great Dictator" . This did the album some serious good, and it kind of showed that Kingdom Of Giants wants to help people no matter their gender, race, or how they look. This is something more bands are preaching, now it’s not a bad thing that bands or doing this. It’s actually quite nice, and I’m glad that there are more people out in the world that want to help others, instead of harm them. “Broken Ocean”, is another favorite of mine on this album. The guitar on this song just sounds so good, it makes me drool a little bit. Some of the drum play on this song, is as drool worthy as the guitar play, but only in some places of the song. “Girls And Guns”, was on their ep, as well as this release. This kind of made me happy. “Guns And Girls” not only one has one of the best song titles on the album, but you can definitely tell Kingdom Of Giants likes the two G’S of life! “Guns And Girls” isn't only a funny name for a song, but also one of the better songs on the album. It’s third from last on the album, and you can tell they’re trying to end this release off with a pretty big bang to get people stoked for the next thing Kingdom Of Giants brings to the table. In “Mj Returns”, there’s a special guest in this song, Stephen Rezza! You can hear him pretty clearly, which is something many guest vocalist spots don’t have. However, it’s always good to hear the guest clearly. I’d have to say that adding a guest vocalist to this song, really gave it its edge. It seemed like Kingdom Of Giants wanted to end the album off with a bang, and they definitely did end it with a huge bang. This lead to giving their fan base something really great to listen too!

Breakdown:

Cleans: Yes, there still are clean vocals in King Of Giants. I honestly think the band needs to have clean vocals, because that’s one of their elements that makes them the band that they are, and without them they wouldn't be the same. However, the clean vocals aren't really the same as they were on the ep, and some older fans might not like that, but change is good? Right? Well in my opinion, the change was a good move for the band. It didn't really make their music any worse, if anything it made it better to listen too!

Screams: The screamers vocals are original like they were on their ep “Abominable” but they've improved to give it more of a post hardcore / metalcore feeling to them, which isn't a bad thing if anything it kind of impresses me with their talents a bit more. I’d really like to see these guys hard work pay off sooner or later. I feel like they could change the post hardcore scene and give other bands some light to their music.

Instruments: The instrument play on some of the songs on this album is definitely something to hear. The guitar, bass, and drummer are definitely talented, and know how to play their instruments very well. Some of the playing kind of sounded a bit new to me, but really did some good for the album, and the band. I love how you can hear how the band changed compared to their older stuff. That really made me happy, since I've been a fan of these guys since they dropped their ep “Abominable”. It was seriously great to hear how they changed and improved in the places that lacked.
