BAND OF THE MONTH - MAY

BAND OF THE MONTH

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA

Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, The Devil Wears Prada took the metalcore scene by force with their debut album Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord. Followed by the widely praised Plagues and their most recent release With Roots Above and Branches Below, The Devil Wears Prada secured themselves as top dog in the metalcore world.

To be quite honest, I wasn't a fan of TDWP when I first heard of them. I wrote them off before I even gave them a fair chance. For me, I couldn't give two shits about a band who (I thought) was named after a shitty movie and had titles such as "HTML Rulez D00d" and "Reptar, King of the Ozone".... I mean come on. It was just another lame attempt to be 'different'. After hearing so many good (and bad) things I finally gave in, and picked up Plauges. To my suprise, I actually enjoyed it*. Mike Hranica's vocals were harsh and unique and fit well with the generic 'heavy breakdown' tone we've heard hundreds of times. They use a very predicable formula to construct catchy, un-original -core songs...but they do it damn well.

Now, the best part about The Devil Wears Prada is something most people would never expect. The Synths. Yup...that annoying kid who gets to hit a few buttons and run around on stage is what, in my opinion, sets this band apart from the other. You won't notice them at first, infact I'm sure a few of you went "...wait there are keys in these songs". Yup again. Keyboardist, James Baney, does an excellent job of adding a small, yet pivotal, sound to each song. You'd be suprised how much atmosphere a little 'hum' from a keyboard can add to a song.

I enjoyed both Plagues and Dear Love, but I think With Roots Above and Branches Below may top both of them. Again, it is the result of James Baney and his keys which set this band apart from others. Hranica's vocals sound a lot different than the previous records. His lows are more brutal and his highs are more...wispy? Is that the right word? I don't care. His vocals are unique, and although many people will look down on them, I think they are great, and just another factor which helps pull TDWP away from the generic -core band, and solidify them as an actual talent.

Granted, TDWP is every -core kids dream, and most of the 'real metalheads' won't even give them a second chance (let alone a first), but you really should. They are FAR from an 'amazing' band, but they are fun to listen to, fun to see, and a good band overall. I know their most recent release, With Roots Above and Branches Below, will be on rotation in my play list all summer. Make sure to check them out on Warped Tour all summer!

Propagandhi - Supporting Caste (2009)

Genre: Punk/Progressive
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/propaghandi

Supporting Caste is effectively the ultimate Propagandhi record, it combines brilliant guitarwork and balls out aggression with longer, epic prog moments and pulls it all together with a dose of catchy songwriting. The musicianship is pretty much unbelievable and the in-your-face lyrics are almost always intelligent, getting across their point. This album doesn't waste a single second or fall flat musically at any point except for the huge ass silence in the final song which is just plain annoying. Why do bands do that? But seriously, check this out now, it may well end up as a contender for my album of the year.

Awesome.

Maybeshewill - Not For Want Of Trying (2008)

Genre: Post-Rock/Electronic
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/maybeshewont

Maybeshewill are a breath of fresh air among the genre that is post-rock, they turn their back on the more traditional elements of the genre and make subtle use of synths and drum machines that result in an album that is colourful and certainly makes for an interesting listen, requiring very little effort to listen to in contrast to the majority of post-rock (or at least that's what I've found anyway). While this might not make it quite it quite as deep as other albums of the genre, it definitely makes it more fun to listen to and to be honest, it doesn't really get boring at any point throughout. So give it a try, you might like it.

Whoa.

Spires - Flowers And Fireworks (2009)

Genre: Screamo/Hardcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/spiresatwar

The debut release by Spires is a fantastic display of, well, I'm not really sure what genre I'd put this into but I guess I'll go for screamo with influences of post-metal thrown in there maybe. Ah well, I think it's great how these guys move from sparse but sprawling guitar parts to bursts of noise and yet still make it feel like a natural and flowing progression. They've got a slower sound in comparison to most screamo bands I've heard as a result of the post-metal influences, but still vary it up and make it interesting, which all in all makes for a pretty damn cool album. I advise you check it out if you're into the whole screamo thing as this is pretty great.

Yeahhh.

Music Video: The Chariot - Daggers

The Chariot - Daggers


New video for The Chariots upcoming album War and Rumors About War. I really enjoy this music video, its fun an creative. Definitely a break from the norm. Check it out!

A Skylit Drive - Eva The Carrier

A Skylit Drive has split 'Post-Hardcore' fans in half. People either seem to love or hate these guys. For me, I enjoyed their EP, but had trouble liking their debut album, Wires and the Concept of Breathing. These guys are far from a bad band, but definitly dont appeal to everyone. I'm not the biggest fan of ASD, but I'm interested to see what comes from their new album Adphelia which is set to lanuch June 9th. Check out their first song from the new album; Eva The Carrier.

SONG: A SKYLIT DRIVE - EVA THE CARRIER

IWRESTLEDABEARONCE - Tastes Like Kevin Bacon (live)

I'm excited to be seeing these guys next week! Watch this live video of Tastes Like Kevin Bacon and make sure to check out IWRESTLEDABEARONCE on tour right now with The Human Abstract and Oh, Sleeper!

Trophy Scars - Bad Luck (2009)

Genre: Post-Hardcore/Experimental
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/trophyscars

With Trophy Scars' most recent effort they've created an album that incorporates sounds from all over the musical spectrum, combining typical post-hardcore along with a whole variety of other genres. Nearly every track fluidly incorporates piano as well as some tracks even making use of horns and strings, as well as a saxophone solo throughout the bridge of "Years So Much". Truth is, the only thing I really have against this album are the vocals. At some points they begin to grate on me, particularly when the vocalist decides to sing in a very gravelly fashion, it just strikes me as out of place. But apart from the vocals I really enjoy listening to this, although I can't imagine how they manage to pull it off live with all the extra instruments.

Enjoy!

Botch - An Anthology Of Dead Ends (2002)

Genre: Metalcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/botch

Meet the final parting gift from metalcore titans Botch, An Anthology Of Dead Ends, which despite being just 22 minutes long is fit to burst with angular song structures, unexpected tempo changes and the outright noisy sections that Botch have come to be known for. These guys were a huge influence on the metalcore scene as a whole, even pioneering the 'mathcore' genre alongside the likes of The Dillinger Escape Plan, and in the process also being ripped off innumerable times by other bands (I'm looking at you Norma Jean), so if you're into metalcore give this EP a go - it's pretty great.

Linkyyy.

The Secret - Luce (2004)

Genre: Metalcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/thesecret

The Secret are a metalcore band from Italy that do the whole metalcore thing as it should be done, they combine a brutal hardcore sound together with modern progressive metal which all comes together with a huge dose of epic heaviness that wouldn't be amiss on an Isis record. While their brand of rhythmic and caustic metalcore may not be particularly original, they certainly do it much better than most bands I've heard due to their fantastic musicianship and overall great sound. Definitely worth trying out.

Kapow.

A Wilhelm Scream - Career Suicide (2007)

Genre: Punk/Melodic Hardcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/awilhelmscream

A Wilhelm Scream deliver a raw, fast, melodic and totally pissed brand of technical punk, there isn't really a single song on this 35 minute record that drops anywhere below supersonic speeds, with hooks taking the backseat in exchange for shred. Some songs even venture into prog territory at times with the bands interplay of melodic punk and metal technicality being unquestionably in the spotlight. Not only is the guitarwork awesome but the bassist is jaw-dropping as well, his bit in the first verse of 'The Horse' is just insane. Either way, this album is extremely fun to listen to so I advise you check it out.

Clicky.

Fallujah - Leper Colony (2009)

Genre: Black Metal/Deathcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/fallujahbayarea

Fallujah isn't your average deathcore band. With the hateful lyrics and the way these guys play their instruments, one would think they are possessed by demons. The tremolo picked opening of the title track accompanied by one of the most brutal blast beats ever put on tape. The inhuman death growls that spew the most apocalyptic verses and the breakdowns that are ready to crush every person that stands in their destructive path. This music my friends is the apocalypse. Fuck Nostradamus And His Beliefs. This Is The End Of The World.

HELL YEA

The Word Alive - Studio Updates

Dunno if anyone else enjoys studio updates but I'd figure I'd link a few people to them here. I'm excited to hear the new album from The Word Alive. They are one of my favorite upcoming bands. When they lost Craig I thought they would go downhill, but I'm very happy with Telle to be honest.

Oceana - Birtheater [2009]

Haven't really listened to Oceana's new album, Birtheater, enough times to give it a fair review, but figured I'd toss it up for anyone who want's it and hasn't be able to find it anywhere else. There seems to be a bit more singing that their last album. I feel like this album will definitely grow on me after a few listens, it has a very fun vibe to it, although it is very different from the original Oceana. The new TDWP is currently holding the top spot on my playlists so it may be a while until this album gets its fair chance. Anyways make to buy this album when it drops May 26th!

ALBUM: OCEANA - BIRTHEATER [Mediafire]

Modern Life Is War - Witness (2005)

Genre: Hardcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/modernlifeiswar

Modern Life Is War are band that take a slower more lethargic approach to hardcore than most of their peers, although slower does generally also mean heavier. There are moments on this album that are just crippingly heavy, such as on the track 'Marshalltown', which gives off a feeling of despair that is reflected by the distorted guitars, muddy bass and relentlessly heavy drums. The chanting at the end of 'D.E.A.D.R.A.M.O.N.E.S' is just plain awesome as well, and the lyrics are generally fantastic, making this one of my favourite hardcore albums and an instant classic.

Yeah.

The Devil Wear Prada - WIth Roots Above And Branches Below [2009]

Ok so after a few listens, The Devil Wears Prada scores again with With Roots Above and Branches Below. Whoever claims this is Plagues II is wrong. But I also disagree with this being a "total reinvention of their sound". It is definitely a happy medium between the two. It doesn't have as many obvious breakdowns, but is still as heavy. They cut back a bit on the singing and Mikes screams sound a bit diffrent. Overall this album is EXTREAMLY solid, and very fun to listen to. If you liked TDWP before, you will most likely enjoy this album. Remember to buy this album when it hits May 5th and check these guys out on Warped Tour!

ALBUM: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - WITH ROOTS ABOVE AND BRANCHES BELOW [Medafire]

Gospel - The Moon Is A Dead World (2005)

Genre: Screamo/Progressive
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/gospel

Gospel are a screamo group that are very different to every other screamo group I've heard. They take the screamo blueprint then add progressive, almost psychedelic influences to it which results in music that is heavy, dense, and technical but most of all emotionally aggressive, something that makes the band have an almost timeless appeal. Not to mention the drumming is absolutely insane, seriously the drums are just absolutely everywhere - it's plain awesome. Unfortunately the band split after releasing this, which kind of sucks because this is fast becoming my favourite screamo record ever. So check it out.

Enjoy.

Sed Non Satiata - Le Ciel de Notre Enfance (2005)

Genre: Screamo/Post-rock
Website: http://www.sednonsatiata.com/

Epic screamo from France with post-rock influences. These guys are awesome, I love how they balance beautiful, soft parts with explosive chaotic bursts, and the instrumental "En Attendant L'Aube" is just plain beautiful with it's shimmering lead line and overall stunning instrumentation. I also really enjoy how they use dueling guitar interplay as well, the only thing I really have against this album is that it's just far too short, I want more of it! But anyway, enjoy.

Linky.

The Devil Wears Prada - Sassafras

Aside from the extremely lame song names, I am very much loving the new pieces of With Roots Above And Branches Below that I've been able to hear. The Devil Wears Prada is making some great new strides with their sound, and I can't wait to hear the whole album. MAKE SURE TO BUY IT WHEN IT DROPS MAY 5th and see them on Warped Tour!

SONG: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - SASSAFRAS

Music Video: Underoath - To Bright To See, To Loud To Hear

A Thousand Times Repent - Virtue Has Few Friends [2008]

A Thousand Times Repent started out as any Deathcore band does. It had fun vocals and some really nice breakdowns. But then they did something that Bring Me The Horizon will never do...a slow song. And a good one. No doubt, it is cheesy as fuck, but it is awesome. I'm glad a band like this had the balls to do a song like this, because it is a great twist and a fun addition to an already solid album. These guys are acctually pretty solid musicians overall... not just 3 cord breakdown junkies. Anyway I'm totally loving this album so check them out and buy some shirts or something!

WeAreGiant - The Legion

WeAreGiant is a side project from a few of the members of A Skylit Drive (don't remember which...don't really care). I'm not really sure why there was so much buzz about this EP because...to be honest... It's quite boring. I'm sure thats just me and I'm sure there are plenty of people who will love this... but its just not my cup of tea. But as always...enjoy, and SUPPORT! A Skylit Drive is on tour right now so catch them if you can!

EP: WEAREGIANT - THE LEGION

Fear Before The March Of Flames - The Always Open Mouth (2006)

Genre: Metalcore/Experimental
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/fearbefore

Fear Before the March of Flames' 3rd album The Always Open Mouth. I'm not too sure what to say about it, other than that it's really awesome. It has heavy bits and soft bits and cool electronic bits and honestly, what more could you want? So check it out and prepare to be mindblown, although probably not at first since it will take you a while to get into it. So that's all there really is to it.

Yay.

Down I Go - Tyrant (2008)

Genre: Hardcore/Progressive
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/downigo

A concept album about various tyrannical world leaders from both past and present, something that frequently leaves you feeling like you've made an unwelcome delve straight into the head of a crazed maniac. A schizophrenic blend of sunny harmonies, off-kilter time signatures, unhinged screams and an eight-piece string section only adds to this and results in an album that is seriously so much fun! If you don't want to sing along to the chorus of "glory to Stalin the great!" during the track Joseph Stalin then you probably need to consider lightening up somewhat because it's just plain chaotic fun. Anyway, enjoy!

Clicky.

Music Video: Bring Me The Horizon - Diamonds Arn't Forever

WE WILL NEVER REST TILL WERE ALL GNEEHOFF DEAD
Not the most exciting video...but I'm in there somewhere!

Devil Sold His Soul - A Fragile Hope (2007)

Genre: Post-Metal/Ambient
Myspace: http://myspace.com/devilsoldhissoul

Devil Sold His Soul mix together ferocious metalcore along with post-metal ambience to create a crushingly heavy and epic album. Epic build-ups and desperate screamed vocals add to the whole atmosphere and dynamics of the album which ultimately gives a depressing yet beautiful feel to it, which I happen to find really awesome. That just about sums it up. Check it out.

Zap.

Adebisi Shank - This is the Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank (2008)

Genre: Math Rock/Instrumental
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/adebisishank

Normally I'm not a huge fan of instrumental music, sure I can enjoy some post-rock on the odd occasion but normally it will just put me to sleep. This, on the other hand, is just incredibly fun. Super catchy math rock with everything you could possibly want out of math rock. It has awesome guitarwork and awesome musicianship in general and is short enough to not get boring, not to mention it's one of the funnest albums I've ever heard. So if you feel like something fun and easy to listen to be sure to check this out!

Woahh.

I See Stars - 3D [2009]

The lame album name (3D...come on) and terrible album art really turned me off to this at first, but as always I gave I See Stars a chance. To be quite honest it's not that bad. Far from great, but also far from terrible. Think a diffrent (bit heavier) version of Attack Attack! Check them out on tour right now with In Fear And Faith, and A Skylit Drive!

ALBUM: I SEE STARS - 3D [Mediafire]

Dance Gavin Dance - Discography

Genre: Post-Hardcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dancegavindance

Dance Gavin Dance are one of my favourite bands, I just love how the guitars harmonise most of the time and how the guitarists play off each other. Then there are the vocals, their former vocalist Johnny Craig (now in Emarosa) just has the most amazing vocals on Downtown Battle Mountain, I absolutely love them. Unfortunately he was kicked out afterwards due to various drink and drug problems, but thankfully this didn't turn out so bad since his replacement is almost as good! The only thing that irks me about this band is that the screamed vocals are kind of subpar, but the guy that was screaming for them, Jon Mess, has left and one of the guitarists is screaming now who sounds pretty cool. I'm super excited for their new release this year titled "Happiness", can't wait!

Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - I Have Made My Bed In Darkness (2008)

Genre: Mathcore/Progressive
Myspace: Myspace

This album basically covers it all, it has awesome metal parts and awesome soft parts and everything in between, they're just not held down by any constraints a specific genre may have. I love it. Not to mention that these THREE guys make a whole lot of noise considering how many of them there are (yes, more so than The Fall of Troy). This album just displays incredible musicianship from every single member, if I'm honest I can't really explain their sound at all and you're really just better checking them out and being blown away. Yes, blown away. Now listen and remember - if you like it be sure to buy it!

ALBUM: EXOTIC ANIMAL PETTING ZOO - I HAVE MADE MY BED IN DARKNESS

Minus The Bear - Planet Of Ice (2007)

Genre: Indie/Rock
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/minusthebear

Minus the Bear's awesome 3rd studio album. This album is really, really chill, even though it has an ex-Botch guitarist, who I have to say has some sweet guitar parts on this release. I really love to relax and listen to this, I find it really soothing, not to mention there's not a bad track on this. So yeah, if you feel like some chill indie rock with some cool guitar parts check this out.

Ping.

mewithoutYou - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright (2009)

Genre: Indie/Rock
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/mewithoutyou

The newest album from mewithoutYou. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what to think about it. It's certainly different to the past few releases, it has a lot more of a folky sound on it with horns and stuff. Some bits are really cool, such as 'The Fox, the Crow and the Cookie' which I find great with how it's telling the whole story and everything, however some parts just end up making me cringe. Either way, it's here for anyone that wants it.

Enjoy.

The Narrative - Just Say Yes

Recently featured on AP.net's Unsigned Showcase, The Narrative delivers absolutely beautiful, soothing music reminiscent of The Hush Sound and Death Cab for Cutie. The vocals and piano really steal the show, creating a really nice atmosphere for lounging around and doing nothing. :) Have fun with this.

EP: THE NARRATIVE - JUST SAY YES

Converge - Jane Doe (2001)

Genre: Metalcore
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/converge

Say hello to metalcore titans Converge and their incredible 4th studio album Jane Doe. Do I really need to say any more? Jane Doe is quite possibly the most aggressive album I have ever heard and it's safe to say I've heard a lot of aggressive albums. Jacob Bannon, on vocals, has the most insane shrieks I've ever heard, although on first listen I was kind of apprehensive of his vocal style they really do grow on you and most definitely convey the anger he's directing at said "Jane Doe", whoever she is. Either way this is easily one of the best, if not the best, metalcore album I have ever heard. It's just that good. So listen to it. Right now.

Kapow!

New Killswitch Engage Album June 30th

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE
New album titled Killswitch Engage (wait...another S/T?)

Of Machines - As If Everything Was Held In Place [2009]

Of Machines knows what the fuck is up. With amazing guitar work mixed with a perfect blend between screaming and singing, the band brings a refined yet aggressive side to the post-hardcore genre. Definitely an album worth downloading.

ALBUM: OF MACHINES - AS IF EVERYTHING WAS HELD IN PLACE [Mediafire]

Drop Dead, Gorgeous - Worse Than A Fairy Tale [2007]

I had never listened to Drop Dead, Gorgeous for more than a few songs, until after I saw them with Alesana and I Set My Friends On Fire. They were absolutely amazing live so I started to really listen to them and was blown away. They are fantastic. Great vocals and absolutely an AMAZING band live. If you get a chance make sure to catch these guys on tour and pick up some merch!

ALBUM: DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS - WORSE THAN A FAIRY TALE [Rapidshare]

Amely - I'd Rather Be Alone

Florida-based Amely definitely impresses. Listen with an open mind, and revel in the amazing vocal talent of frontman Petie Pizarro (seriously, go youtube him; he has an incredible voice). Definitely support them; I can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys.

The Number 12 Looks Like You - Worse Than Alone [2009]

I never gave the band, The Number 12 Looks Like You, a fair shot because...we'll the name was embarrassing. I always try my best to give things a fair chance, so I took a listen to their new album and was greatly surprised. They definitely have a wide range of influences and manage to smash them all into some very enjoyable songs. Check them out and see them on tour with Protest The Hero!

Of Mice And Men - Seven Thousand Miles For What

SONG: OF MICE AND MEN - SEVEN THOUSAND MILES FOR WHAT

Casino Madrid -Casino Madrid

Dixiewolf (aside from being badass) has a knack for finding some really awesome bands. Casino Madrid is a 6-piece from California who are currently in the studio if I am no mistaken.

SONG: THICK AS BLOOD - 99 PROBLEMS

Portishead - Discography

Portishead is one of my favorite artists. About as far away from metal as you can get, their first album, Dummy, is honestly one of my favorite albums of all time. Beth Gibbons voice is the high point on the album. Their songs are able to really relax you, yet creep you out at the same time. Hard to explain, but once you listen you will understand. Check them out and buy some merch so they have reason to make their fourth album!

ALBUM: PORTISHEAD - DUMMY

SONG: JOB FOR A COWBOY - CONSTITUTIONAL MASTURBATION

EP: MISS MAY I - DEMO

Remembering Never - Women and Children Die First [2004]

This album needed to be uploaded. Personally the best Remembering Never album in my opinion. Apparently they are slated to release a new album late 2009. Try and Buy folks.

ALBUM: REMEMBERING NEVER - WOMEN AND CHILDREN DIE FIRST [Mediafire]
