Suspension of Graces wants more shows.[views:3725][posts:2]___________________________ [Sep 17,2004 2:28pm - ""] Suspension of Graces is looking for shows. We're a melodic hardcore influenced metal band, with similarities pertaining to Unearth and Beyond the Sixth Seal, among others. We have a new demo being recorded in december, as well as our full length from last year. A new site will be up, and tshirts are in the process. We need shows!! Our sound is killer, and we know you'll love us if you here us. If anyone, anywhere reads this, and has any sort of connection that will get us anything... let us know. SuspensionOfGraces@yahoo.com "Suspension of Graces are one of the many bands attempting to cross the blackened veins of traditional heavy metal, melodic death metal and the newest evolutions of hardcore into one freight train of sound. Thankfully for the SoG boys, they have done so with a considerable amount of success, in comparison to many of the other bands doing this sort of thing. This record stands as fiercely unpretentious, wonderfully produced and hammered together with one hell of a mix to boot. The band doesn't miss a moment as musicians either with slashing guitars, pounding drums and a thick-and-meaty bass tone. The only "weak spot" could be seen in the form of the vocals that represent a quality, but commonly used form. The singer is doing everything right, but with the common usage of this "hardcore voice" it might be slightly harder for one to tell him apart from a few other popular singers. This is a minor notice though, as even he performs excellently alongside his band and does deliver the pissed off goods when it's needed. These men are also moving well as songwriters. This recording doesn't bear massive quality shifts from song to song and the overall feeling is cohesive and advanced. The strongest moments on this CD include the opening blasts of "Frail" (easily the strongest work on the record) and the sliding guitar work on "Destroyer of Demons". Musically, the rest follows suit with the pounding beats and slithering guitar providing a somewhat hellish soundtrack to the vocals/lyrics. The lyrics alone are intelligent without falling into the category of "emo poetry" and this makes the working class feel of the entire affair even more important. It brings the thought put into the writing to a earthy and reflective enough place to impress the fan skeptical of the intellectual worth of heavy metal (without leaving behind those who just want to crush each other into the pit). SoG have managed to cobble together songs that not only catch the ear once, but can also be explored on more than one level. This is a rare thing indeed. The band may find trouble getting the attention they deserve due to their "normal dude" stance and the low-key nature with which this record explodes. It's almost so honest that you can't see them playing "the game" of the industry. If you're into the crossover of the newer forms of hardcore and the thrashing vibe of melodic death metal you'd be missing out NOT to pick up this CD. I give a solid "thumbs up" to this one... ~~Aerik Von, of Black Moon Rising " www.suspensionofgraces.net www.purevolume.com/suspensionofgraces www.myspace.com/suspensionofgraces |
