Genre: Christian Metalcore
For Fans Of: Sleeping Giant, MyChildren MyBride,
In The Midst Of Lions.
Second album to be released by For Today, the song names
seem to in another language, one thing I must say I like about this album is
the bass drops and the screamers really deep growls kind of makes this band
more unique and different in their genre. They are a metalcore band but with Christians
lyrics which is new but worth listening too.
The structures of the songs are pretty good they definitely know how to
write a song and make it sound really good even with Christian lyrics. This
band kind of tries to set them apart from their genre in a few different ways,
vocally and overall sound of the band. A few songs that really stick out on
this album are, Nicodemus
(The Seeker), Elijah (The Forerunner), and Isaiah (The Willing). The
names of the songs are in the bible (I think) Elijah has to be one of my personal
favorites on the album because of the deep vocals and the bass drops along with
the breakdown that’s really heavy. Theirs a style of vocals that is on this
song that makes it stand out and sound a bit better than the rest of the songs
this band has a lot of talent and shows it.
Breakdown:
Cleans: There’s one song that has the clean vocalist kind of
preaching to the listener I wasn’t much of a fan of that but the clean vocalist
is decent when he does show up on the album, the clean vocalist has a voice to
listen to though.
Screams: The screamer has a deep growl type of vocals in
most of the songs which is neat to listen to and shows the metal roots very
nicely...
Instruments: This band has some really good bass drops and
breakdowns, even though it’s not really the energetic type of metalcore on
every song on the album, but it does have some really good songs to mosh too.
The instrumental on the album is another great song with great guitar riffs and
a flow to go along with it.
Rating: 8/10
