Bring Me The Horizon – Sempiternal – Review

The last time we checked in with the Sheffield, UK metalcore five-piece, Bring Me The Horizon, it was when we were discussing the band’s love of laughably long album titles, as well as their increasingly progressive direction with keys and effects in their efforts. With “There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It. There Is A Heaven, Let’s Keep It A Secret,” the band brought us waves of heightened technicality and crashing riffs to contrast the sampled orchestrals, as they solidified their peer status with groups like The Devil Wears Prada, Suicide Silence, and even Underoath. Three years later, Oli and company has progressed both in sound and message, using their new record “Sempiternal” as a christening of the band tapping into several new veins of inspiration and influence. The most noticeable of which is a more subdued sound on the whole, and a much more direct target at certain subjects. read more

Our Last Night – Age Of Ignorance – Review

Ever since Our Last Night dumbfoundedly created their post-hardcore magnum opus “The Ghosts Among Us,” the band has grown up physically and matured what they perceive to be musically. The question on many people’s mind is why do all hardcore bands, in one way or another, look to make softer and less hectic music over time. “The Ghosts Among Us” was a perfect balance of melodic riffage, dual sing/scream vocals, and lyrical one-liners filled with wonderfully quizzical metaphors. But recent efforts “We Will All Evolve” and the first singles from 2012′s “Age Of Ignorance” have chosen to become more direct lyrically and musically, settling for a rock structure and anthem repetition to impact their listeners instead. I had noticed this trend going into the band’s latest  record and became nervous that it might have their music become a glazed-over, radio-friendly shadow of their former selves. read more
