Rise Records can be relied upon. Nowadays, it doesn’t matter which band from this label is spinning on the turntable; most of them seem to suffer from a startling lack of identity. This seems to be a common issue with almost all American Christian core bands, where complete assimilation appears to be the norm. If we are all equal before God, why bother putting effort into composing music?
The debut album from metalcore newcomers, We Came As Romans, presents an intriguing dynamic where its standout moments occur when the band veers away from typical metalcore conventions. While the album, ‘To Plant A Seed,’ delivers the expected blend of heavy and clean vocals characteristic of the genre, the band’s true potential shines through in the non-metalcore elements. These subtle departures, such as the programmed piano introduction in ‘Broken Statues’ or the striking string arrangement in ‘We Are The Reasons,’ hint at the band’s capacity to innovate within the genre, even though the majority of the album adheres to the established metalcore formula.
Setting aside any contentious debates about the band’s faith and style, The Devil Wears Prada, a six-piece outfit hailing from Ohio, demonstrates their ability to craft a compelling album with their third studio release, titled ‘With Roots Above and Branches Below.’ This album serves as both a declaration of their intent to delve deeper into a heavier sound and a testament to their steady rise within the metalcore scene.

American post-hardcore bands have consistently excelled in crafting guitar riffs that elicit powerful emotional responses. The debut album by KOYO, a fresh addition to the Long Island music scene, demonstrates this skill right from the outset. Without uttering a single word, “51st State” conjures a blend of euphoria and sorrow. As the vocals kick in, the emotional impact intensifies. It’s akin to standing on a beach, witnessing the most breathtaking sunset of your life, all while grappling with the loss of your closest friend. KOYO masterfully encapsulates this intricate mixture of sadness, nostalgia, and hope in their songs.
