New Album : As I Lay Dying

The band As I Lay Dying's newest album since An Ocean Between Us, The Powerless Rise falls short of its predecessor. With, in my opinion, only three or four enjoyable tracks, doesn't match Ocean's complete album. As a matter of fact, An Ocean Between Us is one of the few albums I put on repeat and can enjoy as a whole. Powerless only has a few enjoyable songs. I hope this is just a transition for the band, and this album will be far outdone by their next.

In other news, keep an eye out for their tour dates. They've been posting some new ones lately.

Bullet for My Valentine : Fever

A previous, though un-reviewed, and favorite band of mine, Bullet for My Valentine has recently released a new album. Well, recently is a little bit of an exaggeration, but nonetheless - new. However, I was not terribly pleased. I suppose I had my expectations a little high. I wish this album had been released in between Scream Aim Fire and The Poison, rather than most recently. Nevertheless, check it out if you're a fan or just starting out on Bullet.

Miss May I

Yay, new band! Alright, so these guys are yet another metalcore band I've been enjoying. The album pictured above, Apologies are for the Weak, is one of my new favorites. The music is fast and heavy, the singing is powerful, and the lyrics are tight. As a matter of fact, there are few albums I can listen to the entire thing. Without a doubt, this is one of those albums. Check the guys out!
