THE CONTORTIONIST / GLASS CLOUD / FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS
13 years ago
Can't waste our time on hateful people like you. THE CONTORTIONIST - INTRINSIC
If you've already heard these guys they really need no introduction, you know the game they bring and they bring it hard. I'm a little over halfway through this and it's definitely an INCREDIBLY well-written album. They've foregone the breakdown-laden heaviness that was present in Exoplanet, while still sounding like themselves to venture more into their experimental and atmospheric interests. Jonathan Carpenter has brought his clean singing vocals more into play on this album (lots of vocoded stuff mixed in too!) and it's definitely well done. Where his keyboards were more of an afterthought in their previous material, along with synths they've been brought more into the forefront on this album. There's still heavy moments here and there in the album but they've definitely decided to lean more towards progressive writing with Intrinsic. Exoplanet was so good that I can honestly say I wouldn't mind if they wrote an album that ended up being Exoplanet II but growth and progression in bands that are already really good is always a great thing to see and here they've decided to expand upon the stuff that really made them stand out from all the other dime-a-dozen detuned breakdown touting deathcore bands out there. It might take you a bit to get into this album if you're expecting it to be similar to Exoplanet but Intrinsic actually compliments Exoplanet pretty well. This album is absolutely worth a listen, if for nothing else to hear how well they blend the atmospheric phrases with the heavy.

GLASS CLOUD - THE ROYAL THOUSAND
So this is a band comprised of Jerry Roush (ex-vocalist of Sky Eats Airplane from their self titled album), Josh Travis (guitarist of The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza), and two of Jerry's childhood friends. It quite literally sounds exactly like you'd think. SEA + DANZA. It's REALLY good though IMO. Jerry's clean vocals can be pitchy at times but it's still a solid effort, both melodic at times and punishingly heavy at others. Josh's guitar work is incredibly signature to himself and before I looked up more info on the band, the moment I heard the first single from them I thought to myself "what the hell... this sounds like Josh from Danza...?". If you like either of those bands you'll probably like them combined.

Need to give Glass cloud a listen though they seem decent!
