Album Review: We, Who Overcome-Memoirs

The First Annual Contest Week At MelodyHunt.com

This week I am reviewing an up and coming metal band that will amaze you. We, Who Overcome redefines the term "fan loyalty" and will leave you wanting more with every time you listen to their music. Their first EP, Memoirs is a short one but it's a window to the greatness that this band has in store for them in the future. With heavy metal rifts, catchy drums, a deep scream, great vocals, and lyrics that were inspired by the fans themselves, We, Who Overcome has everything you can want out of a good metal band in this day and age. In comparison I would put their sound along greats such as Five Finger Death Punch and Killswitch Engage.

Of the songs on the EP my favorite falls to When The Mirror Reflects No More. I love the way it opens up soft yet you know there is something amazing in store in the future. It makes you wait in anticipation and you get excited for the curtain to drop and the band to unleash fury. The same feeling comes along with Rough Seas Make Better Sailors. This one opens up with a melodic slow entrance that reminds me of how Metallica used to start their songs.

I could go on and on about the greatness that this band has, but I want you to check it out for yourselves. Memoirs will be up on iTunes by the end of the week, but until then I have a copy to give away for free.

Album Review: Falling In Reverse-The Drug In Me Is You

Welcome back and enjoy the weekly dose of new music to listen to from MelodyHunt. By the way, I know your reading this, so follow me to stay on my good graces.

This week I stumbled onto a band that reminds me a lot of Escape The Fate. Falling In Reverse has a definite similarity to them, mainly because its the old lead singer's new band. If you liked ETF then you will for sure like FIR. They have a pretty good mix of heavy and soft, but it's the vocals that stand out for me. It isn't overwhelming with the screams, but instead it has more vocals similar to The Used, and a similar lyrical content at times compared to Psychostick.

So for there album The Drug In Me Is You, I decided to give it a good listen and try to dissect it. The first song on the album comes out with a bang, Raised By Wolves show you what the band can do, with a great mix of a little bit of everything, including a little bit of synth which i didn't see coming from them at all. Listen for yourself below.

Sink Or Swim is my favorite on the album, with a chorus that has an amazing sound and catchy tune. It jumps away from the metal at one point and keeps things new feeling without the same repetition, but then goes right back to a very heavy guitar and drum part.

As for other songs worth mentioning, The Drug In Me Is You, Good Girls Bad Guys, and Goodbye Graceful are all great songs to give a listen, and then purchase the album. Overall Falling In Reverse is a good transition between metal and screamo that will keep you tapping along to the beat and learning the words before you can teach your grandparents what a superman is. So purchase their album The Drug In Me Is You, and leave me comments below and tell me what you think of them.

Album Review: Along Came A Spider-After The Silence

Welcome back fellow music lovers to MelodyHunt. Enjoy.

So this week I'm turning the tables and going with a band that really caught my attention in a different way than previous bands. Along Came A Spider jumped out at me right from the start with their all around great sound. Their EP, After The Silence drew me in at first With an overall sound that is heavy but also very lyrical at just the right times. After listening to this album it makes you want to jump in a mosh pit and start throwin' 'bows. In comparison, I would list them beside bands such as All That Remains, Atreyu, and even Underoath.

The first song on their EP, The Overdose On Tylenol, comes at you head on by mixing a great guitar melody, and heavy drums, then not holding back and throwing everything at you. This one was definitely my favorite on the EP, and why not lead off with the best.

Going deeper into the album you get a mix of deep, heavy lyrics, and some great vocals. With other songs on the album like Murder Is Just A Phase, which starts out with an unexpected but welcomed synth intro, and A Pleasure Cruise Aboard The Titanic, which grabs you with a rhythmic drum intro.

Each song on this album has its own unique sound, all the while remaining true to their metal core. This is what helps set them apart from other metal-hardcore bands. The vocals in their songs keep the sound fresh, and controls the tempo by mixing a deep heavy scream and higher vocals.

All in all, I highly recommend Along Came A Spider for every metal fan. They are a great new sound in a genre that is struggling for new material. Comment below to tell me what you think. Support them by clicking on the links below and purchasing After The Silence on Amazon or iTunes.
