I, The Breather "These Are My Sins" Review

Genre: Technical / Christian / Metalcore
Release Date: 2010
Label: Sumerian Records

Tracklisting:
1.Forgiven
2.The Common Good
3.Destroyer
4.High Rise
5.Longevity
6.Doomsday
7.Conquer
8.Empathy
9.Crown Me King
10.Allspark
11.Illuminate

With the ever growing metal scene, it stands to reason more bands of every spiritual background are beginning to show. This is especially true of the christian metal scene, where unfortunately, the music is sometimes lost to the message. This is not however the case with Baltimore's own I The Breather, even with Sumerian Records' ever diversifying roster, I The Breather's debut album on the label "These Are My Sins" prove both the fact that this band has just as much talent as they have conviction. Introducing the album, the song "Forgiven" gives a brief moment before the albums ferocity and passion is well and truly unleashed. The grinding guitars and searing drumming are all subject to not only moments of fist clenching fury and wild, technical breakdowns and tempo changes, but bring out some very clean guitar solos and interludes that fit together seamlessly with the howling zeal the vocalist brings to the song, the vocals are not only wonderfully aggressive, but some bands that follow the religious theme in their music have an interesting habit of being lyrically and not just vocally aggressive, I The Breather's lyrically faithful words range from the calm serenity to despair, to anger, fear, and even some doubt. Not to say they are the only christian band to have more than one emotion lyrically but certainly "These Are My Sins" have some of the most poignant and introspective lyrics of many  metal releases to date.

 
Songs "The Common Good", "High Rise" and "Destroyer" bring more of the gentle brutality that I The Breather are so well versed in seamlessly blending their instruments, voice, and thoughts into s fervent, catchy, and pummeling examples of music . Where the album really begins to shine and stand out is the song "Longevity" which has a very massive feeling introduction and incorporates backing shouts that only serve to add to the furor that the music already had. Even some piano makes an appearance here, making "Longevity" a very beautiful song and certainly helps "These Are My Sins" be the Jewell of an album it is. "Doomsday" and "Conquer" follow with very dark narratives that would sound downright nihilistic if the music was played any more heavily. This is part of I The Breather's appeal as they are just heavy enough in their music, without going any heavier than they must to make music that is not only crushing, but in some cases rather uplifting. The instrumentalists are given a chance to shine in the instrumental track "Empathy" which is not only a very beautiful piece of metal music and also proves that these musicians are more than just a metal band with a message they believe in. Allspark is a return to the optimistic, if not cheerful lyrics that covered much of this album along with the astoundingly talented music to back up the meaning and then the album closes out with the song "Crown Me King"  having quite possibly the most fearsome zeal on the entire album given the length of the song, which allows for the band to remind you they're capable of playing technical, aggressive music far more than competently and bring a message that gives highest praise to their spiritual inspiration. It may not get more people to church, but "These Are My Sins" is certainly an amazing work that is sure to have many saints and sinners alike listening to the wonderful music within.

Aversions Crown "Servitude" Review + Full Album Streaming and Free Download

Genre: Technical Deathcore

Location: Brisbane, Australia

What technical 8 string madness is this pouring out of my speakers? It's none other then the Australian tech-deathcore geniuses known as Aversions Crown which hail from Brisbane, Australia. This isn't your normal 8 string low end style of brutal deathcore, no, Aversion Crown makes full use of their 8 strings. Each track is filled with fretboard shredding like no other as well as drums to match. So join me on this journey through their album of pure fury, 'Servitude' and crank it!

Full track by track review and streaming of Aversions Crown 'Servitude', enjoy!

Track 1. No Salvation

There is 'No Salvation' after you have started this album, which is the first track's title. I hope your sitting down after you press play, because this band will knock you on down on your ass. The riffs are brutal and very well put together and the drumming is a beast of its own blasting. Everything about Aversions Crown is cranked to 11. The track starts with a display of the beautiful low end of the 8 strings then blast into a technical side that keeps progressing. The vocals are so powerful, everything is filled with unrelenting power. But prepare yourself, this first track is just the beginning of what Aversions Crown is about.

Track 2. Excoriate

'Excoriate', enters and takes you to the next level of technical deathcore. 'Excoriate' starts off with a nice build up before it unleashes upon you with a wave guitars which I love how the guitars pan and play 2 different riffs. The sweeps are so sweet and very well played. I love the breakdown that spawns at the end of this track and leads right into the next track.

Track 3. Imperfect Design

'Imperfect Design', which there is nothing imperfect about Aversions Crown's design. This song starts with a nice chug just as we are leaving 'Excoriate' with a beautiful breakdown riff. Is it possible to outdo yourself? The answer is yes. The guitars make full use of their 8 strings, they leave nothing untouched. This track does feature a lot more chug then the others but doesn't leave you with just chugging. There is a nice little trade off of guitars midway then after a nice low-end string riff there is some high end insanity. The design of these songs are so well put together.

Track 4. Hive Mind

Up next, 'Hive Mind' which features some keyboards in the mix that adds a nice layer to the starting riffs. This song is meant to sound epic. It has a machine feel, at least to me, which sounds perfect and fits the name of this track. Everything about this song tells a story. A master piece this is, a display of writing skill.

Track 5. Repurposed - Reprogrammed

Now its time to 'Repurposed - Reprogrammed', which is an extension of 'Hive Mind'. I really enjoy how every track flows together. There has been a lot of thought into this songs. You must really not have shuffle on while listening to Aversions Crown, this album is meant to be listened to in order to get the full effect of this Australian technical fury machine.

Track 6. Solace

'Solace' starts with a nice relaxing guitars, it is differently the eye of the this hurricane. This is a beautiful instrumental and gives you time to reflect on what you have heard so far. But don't get to comfortable.

Track 7. Partisan Destruction

The fury returns with 'Partisan Deconstruction', which starts out blasting. The storm has returned and takes you into a whirlpool of riffs. This track has a lovely breakdown that really gets your head moving then sucks you into a tornado of riffs, drums, and vocals. There is some good off timing parts in this track. As you can tell, i keep using words like whirlpool and tornado to describe this track, because that is the feeling I get from this one, its a spinning feel. It's the best I can describe it.

Track 8. We're Not Safe

Maybe its because 'We're Not Safe' as the next track states. This one really takes you on a off time riff ride at first. Then stabs you with a very well put together guitar lead and pounds you with low ends afterwards. Again, this track seems flows right out of the last one. It seems like every song you hear is a different band but in a good way. It's not the same thing over and over. Can it be, are these guys the Beatles of deathcore? That is a very bold statement I know.

Track 9. Defiler

'Defiler' takes over, pouring out of your speakers with heaviness. Midway there is a nice slow down of beautiful put together guitars which unfolds into a nice breakdown riff that is like a steam hammer pounding as if building some kind of machine.

Track 10. Praetorian

Now, it's time for 'Praetorian' which stands over you like a giant. There are many layers on this song. This one is the 2nd shortest track on the album, lasting only 2:50 minutes but gets the job done.

Track 11. Advocator Of Mans Genocide

The next chapter of this story, which is the last track, 'Advocator of mans Genocide' takes off right as 'Praetorian' ends. This is the closing, it is a statement. I really enjoy the guitar work on this one, its so smooth.

The entire album is so epic and deserves a full listening, or 2. The album is put together so nicely like a story. It has all the elements of one, from setting, conflict, climax and resolution. The members of Aversions Crown; Colin - Vocals, Kevin - Guitar, Chris - Guitar, Steve - Bass, & Jayden - Drums, do a wonderful job of expressing their self with amazing style of deathcore.

A Loathing Requiem "Psalms of Misanthropy" Review

Genre: Technical/Brutal Death Metal

Label: Self Released

Release Date: 2010

Malcolm Pugh has never been a man of half measures. Fans already familiar with him know his work in the fantastic band Inferi and for a guest appearance on the amazing album “Our Cursed Rapture” by Enfold Darkness. The guitar work exhibited on those albums by Mr. Pugh has never been anything but phenomenal and this time out, on his completely solo venture “Psalms of Misanthropy” under the moniker A Loathing Requiem, Malcolm Pugh proves himself to be one of the singularly most talented musicians on the heavy metal scene today. All the instruments on this album were handled by Malcolm Pugh and all the instruments are masterfully handled. The opening track “Annihilation Induced by the Luminous Firestorm” display crushing drum sections, sinister vocals and guitar work and solos that would give Dragonforce a run for their money. Showing not only a talent for technical work, Malcolm proves he can do brutal all by himself with slamming interludes on such tracks as “Rapturous Euphoria” and “And Darkness Was Cast”. The entire album rings of a cohesive sound that is no doubt partially caused by the single musician working away on the entire work. “Psalms of Misanthropy” is a dense work and will most assuredly require most listen once or twice to hear not only the unrelenting brutality of the music but the more subtle technical aspects. Tracks like “False Gods Render Death” and “Carnage of the Infinite Black” are brutal this is true but there is much more to the music as listeners can hear, the blistering music has a very skilled technical sound to it rather than the sound of many brutal bands turning the volume to 10 and chugging away.

Malcolm Pugh proves capable of that on this album over and over but certainly does not short sell himself to merely pounding his fans’ eardrums relentlessly but gives those willing to listen and absorb the music a chance to hear his titanic skills. And this is not just the case with the guitar work; any facet of this album can be chosen and displayed as a thing of death dealing beauty. The drums hammer away at cascading speeds that fit the guitar work perfectly on songs like “Ecliptic Realm” and “Architect or Arsonist”, but to choose the standout tracks on this album is a nigh impossible task, as all the tracks on this album standout and that in a way is the magic of Malcolm Pugh. His talents are so widely showcased on this album and all the others he appears on and through all that exposer the countless times he has proven himself a talented musician, it never gets old, every time through listening to any of his work there is not once a dull moment and “Psalms of Misanthropy” is no different in that regard. A Loathing Requiem is certainly nothing new for fans of Malcolm Pugh but that can hardly be a complaint on the debut album. No comfort zones are stepped out of, no barriers pushed, and yet, “Psalms of Misanthropy” also leaves no listener unsatisfied.

Rating: 5/5

Fallujah "The Harvest Wombs" Review

Genre: Progressive/Technical Black/Death Metal

Label: Unique Leader Records

Release Date: 2011

Being from a state generally thought of as one of the brightest most sunny places in the U.S. if not the world, it would seem that a band like Fallujah, being from that area would not be able to create a soundscape as cold, dense, and sinister as they have on their long awaited full length debut "The Harvest Wombs". Admittedly, many metal bands originate in California but Fallujah takes the rage exhibited by groups like Suicide Silence and Carnifex, punch that rage up a notch and throw their own blend of black magic onto it. The band has amazing guitar work that makes for a wonderful mix of both technically intelligent and punishingly churning music that is layered over bashing catchy drumming and mixed with some of the most sinister vocals in the genre and beautiful haunting ambient sections. The band has all these assets at their disposal and yet never overdoes any of it. Songs like "Alpha Incipient"and "Prison of the Mind" make use of Fallujah's more ambient elements while "Become One" and "Ritual of Godflesh" are some of the songs that call upon the guitarists to carry the songs, although this is not meant to say when one element is present the other is absent.

All of Fallujah brings their dark diabolical sound to all the songs on this album, even the instrumentals! Lets talk about the instrumentals! The tracks "The Flame Surreal" and "The Harvest Wombs", two massive instrumental tracks that the band sneak into the album and both tracks that are packed full with just as much genius and darkness as the rest of the album. The closing track "Assemblage of Wolves" reminds listeners that Fallujah may have the ability to make roaring technical music, but they also have phenomenal abilities at making crushing music. "The Harvest Wombs" is a delightful album that is sure to impress fans of heavy music from The Faceless to Wolves in the Throne Room. To readers who have yet to listen to "The Harvest Wombs", get to it! And to Fallujah if any of the band members are reading this review of your new album, do more like this one!!
