Today I'm gonna spend a little time talking about "Veil Of Maya". Now to be completely honest, I haven't heard a lot of their songs, nor do I know any of the members in this band besides Marc. The songs that come to mind from this band, that I think are worth listening to are "Vicious Circles", "Unbreakable", "Entry Level Exit Wounds" and "Mowgli". The band is signed to Sumerian Records and recently released a new single called "Subject Zero" which kinda sucked in my opinion. Check out the few songs listed besides them, I dunno if anything else they've released is anything good.
Periphery is my favorite band in the entire world(minus The Color Morale) and while I was listening to Music Choice's Metal Channel because I barely watch TV anymore. I was on my laptop playing Tera, but I REALLY enjoyed the song, but I was to busy to look up from my laptop. So when when screams and vocals finally hit me, I was like "Periphery!?! Feed The Ground is Matt's song, and in my opinion it's a pretty structured song. Tho I enjoyed it....I don't really have much to say about it because it's only being shown on Music Choice and it isn't released on Youtube or Spotify as a single. So I've only heard it ONCE, and that isn't enough to take the entire song in. But I did enjoy, and wish I could link a video. But if you have comcast, tune into the metal channel, you might catch the song.
Oh Sleeper is a 5 piece Metalcore band from Texas. If these guys aren't a christian band, then I don't know what IS, seriously, these guys love "God" and I say that because a lot of their lyrics talk about him, or talk in his name, for example "The Finisher". Anyway, these guys are among the few good metalcore bands around. If you like Parkway Drive, As I Lay Dying or The Devil Wears Prada, you'll enjoy these guys, trust me. The rough vocals are fry vocals/yelling and in the choruses have clean vocals(this is metalcore) but there are usually unclean vox in the chorus aswell, and it's done perfectly. Riffs are pretty good. I really like the main riff in "Childern Of Fire". I'd check these guys out, solid metalcore band. Don't let the fact that they're a Christian Metal band kill it for you, these guys are pretty good. Enjoy The Song~
In Fear And Faith is simply amazing. I've been listening to these guys since 2007. I have no idea why it's taken me so long these guys in my blog. Better late then never. (: Anyway, In Fear And Faith is a post-hardcore band signed to Rise Records...now I know what you're thinking,but they aren't your typical rise band, they're so unrated...not even sure if they're still on rise records at this point..but off topic. I'm going to tell why these guys are amazing, they mix hardcore, beautiful clean melodies, usually with piano backing it, which even more adds to the beautiful sound, their riffs are great,the drummers are never boring in my opinion. My ONLY complaint that I have is the cleans can be a bit annoying because of high pitched they are, still, it doesn't stop me from enjoying the melody or everything else going on an each of their songs. These guys are not you typical hardcore breakdown band, nor your typical "risecore" band. The two vocalists, both deliver their parts pretty great, the lyrics are pretty decent pretty good too. Lyrics can really decide if i listen to a song or band sometimes..though..I listen to Attila, so like I said, "sometimes". I seriously suggest checking out the song "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions", "Counselor", "Taste Of Regret", you know what, they have SO many good songs, I'd check them out on Spotify, the EP Symphonies is good, but either "Imperial" or "Your World Of Fire" would be a good place to start. Check em out, you won't regret it! Whoops, just found out that this band isn't even active anymore and a lot of people have left them, that sucks, still check them out. ):
