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
