What’s the 4-1-1?
blessthefall drop their debut effort
Genre
Screamo / hardcore / hard rock / Christian
The Good
“A Message to the Unknown” is an in-your-face assault of fury
with shades of melody thrown it for good measure. “Higinia” focuses
more on vocal harmony, but still tosses in plenty of blood-thirsty howls.
The rapid-fire drum work is simply devastating. “Rise Up” displays
some heavy riffs, as well as ear-piercing vocals. “Pray” is a
dark horse track, due to its soothing acoustic rhythms and tuneful vocals.
Don’t be fooled into thinking the group is going soft, because half-way
through, they bring the thunder. “With Eyes Wide Shut” sets a
haunting tone.
The Bad
“Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad” sounds just like the song
that preceded it (“A Message to the Unknown”). As the album
plays on, you’ll swear that Bless The Fall’s guitar player
only knows one guitar lick.
The Verdict
A decent mix of hardcore and melody, but it’s a bit stagnant in the
diversity department.

blessthefall appeared on the Radio Rebellion Tour and will appear on the
