It Dies Today - Forever Scorned

They did record a great album! - 92%

Young_Metalhead, January 29th, 2008

This is one of a kind metalcore band. Why? Why the hell did they think it would be funny to make an album such as Sirens? I mean listen to this!!! This is pretty good metalcore! Its almost deathcore-ish. Why my fucking God? Why???

Alright this is only an EP but is way better than any full-lenght CD they've released. Why? I don't know. Maybe they shouldn't know it either 'cause going from this to some emo shit just doesn't make any sense to me.

Let's try to explain what's so great about this EP: First of all, it's not boring. it only lasts 29:21 minutes so you don't have to worry about long songs that are just repetitive. Second: There is no I-sing-like-a-girl attitude so you will just enjoy pretty hardcore vocals/screams or whatever they're called. Third: they actually wrote great lyrics and put them together with some great music. It isn't just about the moshpits and breakdowns. Trust me. Even though I hate breakdowns every fucking minute this are the best ones. You can't get tired of them.

Some songs are pretty long (The Requiem For Broken Hearts lasts 5:38) which I think its above the average for metalcore bands. Hell you could beat some emo asses with breakdowns on those songs. And yes, there is a bass player in this record as you've noticed. Not only a guy that stands there and pretends to play the bass. Riffs are pretty nice too. I love when this kids do more than just powerchords (cause as far as I know the vocalist and the guitar player were only 17/18 when this was recorded). Drums are amazing 'cause they do more than just play as fast as he can to get your attention.

Oh my God and the last song is just the most outrageous and agressive love (and hate too) song I've ever heard. This kids are getting serious and I think I broke one or two keys. Holy shit they are doing it again! They're changing rythm with every breakdown and it fits perfect. Wow... Almost perfect...

I can't find any more words to explain to you all how amazing metalcore band this is. You will have to listen (just this album please DO NOT listen to Sirens - My God why??? Why did you let 'em record that shit? - ) Anyway if you're loking for an agressive still fast display of power this is the EP for you, if not give 'em a try maybe you'll like it.

Best songs: Go and listen to the whole album! I'm still astonished.
