Artist: One Morning Left
Album: The Bree-TeenZ
Genre: Post Hardcore, Metalcore, Electronic
Released: August, 2011
Country: Finland
Rating: 9/10

Review:

Despite the cringe worthy album title, One Morning Left's 'The Bree-Teenz' is one of the most entertaining electronic post hardcore releases of the year, with a diverse range of songs that showcase a sense of down to earth fun that's been notably lacking from any similar acts recently. From start to finish, it's a surprise at every turn, a perfect example of which is "!liaF cipE". Drawing you in with a technical metalcore riff, it traverses a variety of catchy hooks, key changes and brutal guitar work before tossing you into a ridiculously enjoyable Middle Eastern inspired breakdown. On the other hand you have ' Reetu Inda House', which after another barrage of technical guitar work, takes you into a chorus with a synth line that's as simple as it is catchy, leaving it impossible not to pump your first in the air and sing along. Overall this is an album that's melodic and simple enough to be fun, yet diverse and technical enough to justify a repeat listen.

Tasters - Reckless Till The End

0 comments

Artist: Tasters
Album: Reckless Till The End
Genre: Metalcore, Electronic
Released: September, 2011
Country: Italy
Rating: 7.5/10

Review:

I think what gives Tasters the edge over the competition is the technicality and talent with which they approach their metalcore, while constantly crossing the boundaries into hardcore, deathcore and even showcasing even the odd mathcore riff. In a scene which is filled with so many bands who follow the tried and true patterns of chugging guitar chords and simple, single chords breakdown, Tasters is breath of fresh air and have a much heavier and harder sound than many other bands playing trance influenced metal. The vocalist also does a decent job, switching between semi-deathcore growls and pleasantly auto-tune free clean vocals. It's hardly an original sound, rather a pre-loved sound, however one that's almost been done to perfection.

The Browning - Burn This World

0 comments

Artist: The Browning
Album: Burn This World
Genre: Trancecore, Dance, Metal
Released: October, 2011
Country: United States
Rating: 7/10

Review:

The Browning are one of the more diverse, yet at the same time formula driven trancecore bands you'll come across. To elaborate, their style is one that's highly unique to the scene, featuring low tuned metal riffing meshing a variety of electronic styles, mainly focusing on hard-styled techno. The first thing you'll notice is how the electronics are an integral part of the music; they slide right in amongst the guitars, blending into one rather than standing on their own. The second thing you'll notice is breakdowns, and how many there are, replacing choruses and verses, piling up on top of each other. It almost appears as if lead vocalist and keyboardist Jonny McBee challenged himself to create as many different electronically fueled breakdowns as possible. And not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but this is definitely a release that is better in small doses.
