Genre: Metal
So I am about four months late on this but damn it deserved some recognition, Destruction of a Rose‘s Suspended in Time dropped July 21st on Standby Records. From the mesmerizing riff of Elixir Vitae, DOAR shows that deathcore is still relevant with solid riffs and devastating vocals to grab anyones attention. Moving on the shrill villionous screams of Evan Foxx alone make DOAR relevant but then the riffs of Gordon Lamont, Nick Rose, and Daniel Castro truly make DOAR worth the listen. Personally We Own the Night is my favorite song off this rather impressive ep. Aside from the confusion of Blame it on the Alcohol I thought it was going to be a cover for sure. Destruction of a Rose shows much promise a little fine tuning in the lyrical department but other than that they really need to just get a chance to get into a studio and release a true full length and this six track album is an excellent prelude to that. The riffs are in place but aside from that the lasting impact isn’t quite there yet, but again an excellent starting point on a new label with a bright future ahead. ~James Terry
Score: 3.5/5
