Good Souls Better Angels is a record that harnesses poetic rage, both subtle and visceral. Sempiternal is out now on RCA Records.After a year spent looking back with her Car Wheels On A Gravel Road 20th anniversary tour, Lucinda Williams has now turned her mind to the modern world in the here and now, from internal battles of individuals to the heartless idiocy of those leading the world. Gone are the scene-core kids that fit right into the trendy metal genre, today’s Bring Me The Horizon have expanded their scope, drives, and songwriting skills and produced an album which is nothing short of divine. Treading the line between their roots and commercial appeal in the hopes of bringing the genre into the mainstream, something we should all support. This is an album that has greatly boosted opinion of Bring Me The Horizon. Bring Me The Horizon definitely wanted to rearrange their image and prove they possess more talent than simple breakdowns and non-dimensional screams. And The Snakes Start To Sing is a metalcore ballad of sorts. The House Of Wolves does this, but it is perfectly balanced with a calmer chorus, yet it still manages to assault us with a blast of pure metal mayhem. However even with wonderful vocals, metalcore must layer them to thicken them to a strong consistency. Although he may not have the widest range, Sykes vocals are eerie and chilling to the core. The surprising thing is that he does it wonderfully.

Antivist is a track full of pure hate, Crooked Young is marvelously erratic, whilst on Hospital For Souls Sykes even adds in some soft, soulful crooning. Somehow it simultaneously manages to frighten the shit out of you and make you sit back in awe.Īntivist, Crooked Young and Hospital For Souls could hardly be more different from one another. Ollie Sykes’ raspy, throaty snarls may scare the crap out of some people, but there’s no denying that this is a powerful and enjoyable track. It was perhaps not the best choice for the first single, but it still does the job. First single, Shadow Moses, is the least inventive track on the record. The gang vocals are an example of experimentation done well. Sleepwalking is the radio-friendly song, with catchy riffs and an excellent breakdown. It’s a positive improvement the band needed to make in order to grow, and mature, their sound. Featuring an electric and eccentric mix of heavy and clean vocals, it’s an unusual take on the intro track that are becoming increasingly familiar with. The influence of new keyboardist Jordan Fish is apparent in the opening track, Can You Feel My Heart. You know that feeling when you get a new album, you listen to it, and immediately want to press play again? This is what I felt when I played through Sempiternal. However, thankfully, this album is a great big “FUCK YOU” to all the haters and non believers. It is, therefore, with some trepidation that I pick up the band’s third album Sempiternal. It can’t have been easy for them they’ve taken plenty of slagging on the internet, and even to their faces during their many performance on stage. Surely by now everyone has heard the stories. Its fair to say the band have been involved in their share of controversy since they burst onto the scene in 2006. You either love them or you can’t stand them and want to smash Oli Sykes’ head in.
