This album explodes from the get-go. Hectic guitars throughout. Offering minimal room for your ears to breath. Be prepared to catch up to some audacious pacing and abrupt staccato. The guitars, bass and drums intertwined in an 'over the top' manner but maintained to be melodious.
The sounds might just be too complex for the first couple of listen. With Protest The Hero, the intricate music can be a barrier. It can put people off. Whats on offer here won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but they’re an exciting leap of faith. I 'struggled' to digest at first, but the effort put in by this band made me return. The twists and turns within each song mean it’ll take you time before truly knowing the record properly. Cracking their sound even require some endurance. Successful breaking the barriers of intricacy is where you find are solid, well-constructed songs.
Rody Walker has a high pitched melodic vocals which apparently is filled with tons of natural effects. Changing the tone of his voice with ease while maintaining to sound natural. Tim Millar and Luke Hoskin is awesome with the guitars; zitzagging with ease throughout the album. Arif Mirabdolbaghi supplements with his, at times, lead-esque bass playing. Moe Carlson made his presence felt with some insanely timed drum beats. All elements swaying along with swagger. The effort being poured into a song is just appreciable. Every song contains material of 3 to 5 songs. Crafting impossibly precise breakdowns and unpredictable melodies demonstrates the group’s unbelievable technical abilities as players and songwriters.
It’s a very intense 44.4 minutes. If you're prepared to give them a listen, please be patient.
