Dear Metalcore, watch the throne.
In the early 00โs the metalcore scene was flourishing with the likes of Killswitch Engage, Misery Signals and Poison the Wellโฆ to name a few. Fast forward to present day there is a distinct lack of bands willing to rise to be the new wave of metalcore bands, enter Renounced.
Whilst new โhypeโ bands have been coming and burning out just as fast Renounced have been quietly and confidently growing in the background watching the music scene flash by, biding their time and waiting for their rightful place at the top of Metalcore.
The โdifficultโ third album does not apply here, Renouncedโs โBeauty Is A Destructive Angelโ is what โThe End of Heartacheโ is to Killswitch Engage and what โYou Come Before You’ is to Poison The Well.
First track โGhostsโ launches the listener into a false sense of security with disarmingly cathartic chords before cutting into the machine like drums of โSelf Inflictedโ and Daniel Grayโs vocals cut through – โA Self inflicted wound, a self-fulfilling prophecyโ. Album high point โCalculated Riskโ has one of the catchiest guitar lead lines youโll hear all year with a nostalgic acoustic outro.
Feelings of melancholy and the long process of self-healing have never been so well represented in a metalcore album, both lyrically and sonically until now.
