We Came As Romans: Tracing Back Roots

We Came As Romans: Tracing Back Roots

  
   In a sub-genre saturated with generic material it can be an impossible conquest for a band to standout from the crowd, but every once in an age a true diamond in the rough is discovered. It seems that the latest diamond to be uncovered belongs to American Metal-Core mob, We Came As Romans. 
   Tracing Back Roots has no shortage of the Metal-Core staples such as Blast-Beat Breakdowns, clean sung choruses and screamed sections, but its this simple rearrangement of the sub-genres signature moves that has paid off for We Came As Romans. The breakdowns are more brutal than ever before, the clean singing is done with more visible emotion and passion designed to restrain the listeners attention, and of course the screams are essentially as throat shredding as possible. 
   The songs are as strong as you would expect from a fast rising sub-genre star. Tracks such as "Fade Away" and "Hope" provide the head-bang rhythms in a chanting anthem style. "Tell Me Now" is most notable for its synthesizer ridden, almost pop orientated sound, with a splash of riff brutality to keep it Metal. The highlights of the album unquestionably reside in title track "Tracing Back Roots" and "Present, Future, And Past", which are arguably the most Metallic songs of the entire album. "Never Let Me Go" meanwhile, is deserved of credit for being one of the most expressively emotive Metal-Core songs in recent history.
   Overall, Tracing Back Roots is a very well rounded album. Fans in search of the heaviness will not be disappointed here, despite the abundance of melodies and clean vocals. Although this album might not be approved of by the Cannibal Corpse worshipers of this world, Tracing Back Roots will be welcomed by thousands and will help solidify We Came As Romans place as a great of their generation.

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sabaton, befo

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year.

So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the brutality!  10- MEGADETH:
