This…is going to be brutal. Tracing Back Roots by We Came as Romans was released on July 23, 2013, through Equal Vision records. It is the band’s third full length record, and it features Kyle Pavone on clean vocals, and Dave Stephens on screamed vocals. My experience with We Came as Romans has been fairly limited, as I have previously only heard two songs, “To Plant a Seed” and “Broken Statues”. I thought that they were both pretty interesting songs, and both sounded quite well. However, I didn’t know what to expect when I began to listen to this album, and sadly, I wish that I had never did. I found the album to be fundamentally flawed in so many different ways, and the erratic production touches definitely do not help their cause.

Bleed From Within-Uprising Album Review
“Uprising” is third album released by the young British deathcore band Bleed From Within, and it succeeds their two prior albums, “Humanity” and “Empire”. The band was created in 2005, and was first able to experience international exposure when they toured with Megadeth back in June of 2013. “Uprising” was released in March of this year via Century Media Records, and has been praised by many metal fans and reviewers. I believe this record to be a solid deathcore release, and, although not without flaws, displays a lot of talent and intensity that Bleed From Within is able to perform.
Born of Osiris- M∆CHINE track review and album overview
Machine is the new single by Born of Osiris from their upcoming album, “Tomorrow We Die Alive”. It is also the first song released by the band since the departure of their lead guitarist, Jason Richardson. Many fans of BOO have doubts about the new album due to Jason’s phenomenal performance in “The Discovery”. They also fear that BOO is going to go back to the days of “A Higher Place”, which many consider their worst release. After listening to the song a few times, I absolutely fell in love with it and cannot wait for “Tomorrow We Die Alive”.
Killswitch Engage- Disarm the Descent Review
Disarm the Descent is a pivotal album released by the famous metalcore band Killswitch Engage, featuring Jesse Leach as the new lead vocalist to replace Howard Jones. Jones had left the band due personal health issues, and the band went out and found their original singer to fill his role. Many fans were skeptical about Jesse, and did not know what to expect when Disarm the Descent was released. Although Jesse had previously sung in the band’s debut album, Alive or Just Breathing, that had been ten years ago, and many fans had started following KSE after Howard’s arrival. Since Leach has rejoined the band, he has answered the skepticisms and doubts emphatically, producing a masterpiece of an album in Disarm the Descent.
Sonic Syndicate- Eden Fire Review
Eden Fire is the first album created by the Swedish heavy metal band Sonic Syndicate. It was released on September 13, 2005, via Pivotal Rockordings. I believe it to be the best album from Sonic Syndicate, and it is also one of the most underrated metal albums ever. This album is one of my favorite albums because it executed the concept of melodic death metal to near perfection. Alongside amazing lyrics and incredible mix of screams and clean vocals, it is surprising that this album did not received the international acclaim that it deserves, and is still quite unknown among fans of metal today.
