Suicide Silence – Remember…You Must Die | Album Review

By
Luke Spencer
-

40 minutes of deathcore from a band known for solidifying the subgenre. It aligns more with Become The Hunter as a true-to-form deathcore album. Suicide Silence fans should be happy about that. Guitar riffs and rhythm section are strong enough, there is decent work in songs like “You Must Die” and “Kill Forever”. There is a solid effort. The two big problems are 1.) the album does drag by the end with little variation after a while, and 2.) Hermida’s vocals are starting to sound strained. You hear his higher register sound fine but when the guttural growls come out, it sounds rough and forced. It’s not an awful deathcore album at all but it’s also quite “safe” for deathcore. One step forward, one step back. Wish it was a better overall package. 6/10

Meet Me @ The Altar – Past // Present // Future | Album Review

By

Meet Me @ The Altar

From meeting on YouTube to being the backdrop of a Taco Bell commercial, Meet Me @ The Altar’s skyrocketing popularity isn’t without its detractors. The terminally-online crowd gets called out in the band’s opening track “Say It (To My Face)” on their long-awaited debut LP, Past // Present // Future. Playing in Hot Topics nationwide and nabbing a deal with the iconic Fueled by Ramen in 2020, the in-your-face pop-punk queens have made waves with multiple EPs, but Past // Present // Future aims to make the group a household name. 

Moving tickets rapidly for their debut album’s tour, fans coming in droves at this early point proves big things for MM@TA.

Originally teased on Twitter months ago, next up on Past // Present // Future is “Try”, packing in the nostalgia of Sonic Adventure 2’s “City Escape” with MM@TA’s masterful hold of upbeat, eclectic pop-punk. It’s even more clear in single “Kool”’s infectious hook that the choruses on this record are fine-tuned to stick in the listener’s head for eons. Production is no slouch, either – expect harmonies to shine and lots of layering within Past // Present // Future, guaranteeing you’re glued to the song from start to finish. 

As Meet Me @ The Altar are a three-piece, vocalist Edith Victoria, guitarist/bassist Téa Campbell, and drummer Ada Juarez all see plenty of spotlight; despite the genre being more vocal-focused, it’s worth listening for a clever guitar riff from Téa or a drum fill from Ada. While MM@TA typically utilized more double-bass and had a punchier sound in previous EPs leaning towards an easycore sound, the group has eased into very radio-friendly (but still catchy as can be) songwriting within Past // Present // Future. Where one could headbang to EP Model Citizen, expect to sing along and dance to slower songs on this LP, like “A Few Tomorrows”. 

Leading off with “Say It (To My Face)”, you may have heard this in the Taco Bell TV spot played nationwide!

Inspiration is drawn from several genre staples on Past // Present // Future, as Meet Me @ The Altar channel everything from Avril Lavigne to All American Rejects on the climactic “Need Me” and the blistering “It’s Over For Me”. Variety is bursting between each track, making it hard to classify anything on here as “filler”. Instead of opting for the easy earworm copy-and-paste formula, the experimentation throughout Past // Present // Future is what makes it a smooth 30-minute listen – the perfect length for the target demographic and a strong helping of tunes for those ready for a deep dive. 

It was bold to place the leading single as the first track, but Meet Me @ The Altar ensured the rest of Past // Present // Future is worth delving through. While the non-singles don’t hit quite as hard as “Say It (To My Face)” and “Kool”, it’s still a huge testament for the young band’s future to start this strong with one of the largest labels in the scene. Any form of pop-punk fan is going to find something to like here (I’m impartial to “Try” flashing me back to my childhood just discovering pop-punk at an impressionable age). Whether you saw the band on The Late Show with Steven Colbert, grew up with Green Day, or have a fleeting interest in alt music, give Meet Me @ The Altar’s debut Past // Present // Future a spin at this early juncture before they take over.

Rating: 8/10

A full track list with release dates can be found below.

“We were never a band who did a lot of covers, says vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum, “but we’d always kept a running list.” “When we had downtime between albums, we finally got to knock off a few”

“We’d put them up each month for our Doom & Gloom Social Club to vote on, engage with our community, and talk about great music.” Continued Slocum, “It was a great process, the freedom and fun we had recording these covers once a month for 2 years ended up sort of defining our approach as we started working on the new album. No pressure or expectations, just having fun being in the same room again and making music.”

ENTER SHIKARI Share New Single “Bloodshot” & Announce Special Show

Enter Shikari are today sharing “Bloodshot“, the third single to be taken from their highly-anticipated forthcoming album A Kiss For The Whole World, which will be released on 21st April via SO Recordings / Ambush Reality. Listen to “Bloodshot“ on streaming services here.

“Bloodshot” follows recent singles “(pls) set me on fire”and “It Hurts”, both of which were instantly embraced with open arms by fans old and new, and received their first live outings during the band’s sensational run of sold-out February residency shows in the UK. For Enter Shikari, rejuvenation, resilience and resurrection have been on the agenda as they introduce new music to the world. However, in the arrival of “Bloodshot” the band have more questions to pose themselves, and us.

Lead vocalist and producer Rou Reynolds explains:

“Every day, I seem to be asking myself “Is this article biased?”, “is this claim true?”, “Should I be more furious about this issue? Or less furious?”, “Am I being manipulated? Provoked? Radicalised by my own ‘tribe’?.

“Bloodshot” is about how hard it is to find truth, and how easy it is to stop thinking for yourself and simply repeat your ‘team’s’ mantras.

Everyone’s so fucking angry with everyone else and it’s exhausting. It seems like social media’s main purpose these days is to hypnotise us to hate.”

Pre-order A Kiss For The Whole World here. Limited formats of the new album come packaged with the Live From Alexandra Palace 3 album & DVD, recorded live in December 2021 at the band’s sold out 10,000 capacity London show.

Periphery – Periphery V: Djent Is A Not A Genre | Album Review

By
Luke Spencer
-

This is another massive, proggy, metalcore, djenty, fill-in-your-own-subgenre-here album that checks many boxes. The guitarwork from Misha and Mark is creative, wild, and fantastic. Spencer’s vocals hold up strong and have some serious high points. There are many styles from heavy metal to synth-pop displayed which also shows how much the group is capable of meshing together. Songs like “Atropos” and “Wildfire” are relentless, but that’s balanced by slower connecting segments like in “Dying Star” which are electronic and smooth. This Periphery album is massive and sometimes overwhelming, but after a few listens you realize just how much was put into an album arguing the validity of djent. This star isn’t dying at all. 8/10.
