Since my mediafire account got shut down, this site is pretty much useless. You should, on the other hand, keep up with my youtube page, and check out my material and covers :)

For Today "Fearless" cover

My own song, which I think is worthy of a listen!

New metalcore(ish) song.

2012-04-29T13:55:00.000-04:00

It has my own sort of style in it somewhat, I don't know. But a lot of people liked it, so check it out :)

Thanks for watching ;)

2012-04-17T13:24:00.001-04:00

Counterparts - "The Current Will Carry Us" (2011)

2012-04-17T12:25:00.002-04:00

Counterparts surprised me with this release. I thought "Prophets" was one of the greatest sounds in the scene. Still not a bad album, but is more punk than metal like their previous album.

1. The Disconnect (3:56)

2. I Am No One (1:47)

A Call To Sincerity - "Acts" EP (2010)

2012-04-16T23:38:00.000-04:00

2. Crimson Pages

I, The Breather - "Truth and Purpose" (2012)

2012-04-15T16:08:00.002-04:00

Love this album. They have improved from their last album greatly. Great guest vocals from Micah Kinard (Oh, Sleeper) in Mentalist is just awesome, and fits well into ITB's style. The chants in Truth and Purpose are full of power, as well with the breakdowns. This album is a must-get and I hope you do give it a listen, and enjoy it.

LOOKING FOR METAL/HARDCORE BAND

2012-04-15T12:12:00.003-04:00

If there are ANY musicians who are interested in forming a METAL/HARDCORE band, I am a lead/rhythm guitarist looking to make one. Hail from the NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA area. You can check out some material at the following links:

Our Last Night - "We Will All Evolve" (2010)

2011-09-09T12:26:00.000-04:00

Our Last Night presents a FANTASTIC album in almost every way. Flawless, from start to finish, is what I'd like to label it as. Basic, but catchy guitar riffs, choruses that you'll just want to sing along to, and one of my favorites is their lyrics. This album has 10 different songs that I guarantee you can relate to at least one of them at this point in life. As much as this album fucking r00lz, I'm afraid of a possibly poopy upcoming album but hey, can't judge something that hasn't even been released yet.

1. Elephants (3:30)**

2. The Air I Breathe (4:01)

Oh, Sleeper - "Children of Fire" (2011)

2011-09-09T11:33:00.004-04:00

Oh, Sleeper has done it again. It's as if their previous two albums didn't do the job but now you have this 2011 release to prove they are still in the game at full effect. Their guitar still has that unique sound and technicality along with powerful lyrics leading every track to designate their passion. The progressiveness takes you on a rollercoaster to a place where Oh, Sleeper are the gods, and we are the slaves. I think for this one time in my life, I totally enjoy being a slave. Give it a listen, and if you have yet to listen to any other previous releases, maybe this will persuade you to do so.

1. Endseekers (3:06)**

2. Shed Your Soul (2:36)

3. The Marriage of Steel and Skin (2:56)

Attila - "Rage" (2010) and "Outlawed" (2011)

2011-09-03T10:57:00.002-04:00

Attila brings my first double post, only because I feel as if both can be displayed on one post. If you haven't heard Attila, you're probably unaware of the fact that "party metal" is present in the scene. But let's get real, we all knew a band full of party fiends playing metal would eventually of happened. They're a one-of-a-kind band but they are definitely worth the listen for ANY heavy-goer. Tracks like "Make it Sick", "Rage" and practically every song off of Outlawed is worth your full attention.

1. The End (0:25)

2. Make It Sick (2:51)***

All That Remains - "For We Are Many" (2011)

2011-09-03T10:33:00.001-04:00

Some might bitch and moan about how this album is too soft for them. The reality of it is simply that; it is fucking heavy. Listening to the first track before any others is your best option to see what I'm saying. Breakdowns all over the album that'll make you bob your head, crazy solos in every track, catchy fast-paced riffs and an awesome job with the vocals. Philip Labonte does an amazing job expressing what he's capable of on the track "Some of the People, All of the Time". Overall, a release to make up for Overcome because in my opinion, that album now sounds like crap now that I've heard "For We Are Many".

1. Now Let Them Tremble... (1:23)

2. For We Are Many (2:59)**

3. The Last Time (3:58)

4. Some of the People, All of the Time (3:22)

August Burns Red - "Leveler" (2011)

2011-09-03T10:16:00.000-04:00

Probably one of the most anticipated albums of 2011. Discovering August Burns Red back in 2008 brought to my attention that there was a band in the scene capable of producing album after album and still not get old. The cover art will tell you what to expect in this album; colorful riffs, breakdowns and even some chickens pecking at the ground. Maybe they like salsa music? Wait, what the hell am I talking about? Internal Cannon [see below] is probably what I am talking about. As well as every other release from ABR, it is definitely worth a listen from start to finish.

1. Empire (3:52)

2. Internal Cannon (3:46)**

3. Divisions (3:20)

4. Cutting the Ties (5:02)

5. Pangaea (4:20)***

Update**

2011-09-01T12:47:00.002-04:00

For any who follow-up with this blog, I thank you. For any who don't, go find your hole in the ground and stay in there. Anyways, I'm back. There's plenty of tunes I haven't uploaded that came out late 2010 and all through the year of 2011. Like any other year, 2011 holds room for disappointment, excitement, and always that room for fresh new bands in the scene(s). Be sure to check back for that. Anyways, I now work part-time and attend college (Penn State for any of those who are curious). Pretty silly how I choose the time in my life I am unusually busy to start updating this blog but who cares, right? It's the jams I upload that keep the cruel world ticking with elegance. If you would like to get in contact with me, I do have a Facebook (like half the population) in which you can keep up with my daily life, if it's that important to you. /update

Parkway Drive - "Deep Blue" (2010)

2011-08-31T11:19:00.000-04:00

Deep Blue is what you get when you mix Parkway Drives' last two albums AND their EP. I'd like to call it another one of 2010's best releases. The album caught me off-guard when I first peeped it but then it's originality hit me after a few listens. Breakdowns are as heavy as ever, solos provide justice, and the vocals well, they just got better. One thing that didn't change was the odd lyrics PWD loves to use but I never looked down on them, they actually interest me.

Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! - "Something for Nothing" (2010)

2011-08-31T01:04:00.000-04:00

Brought to the table is what would be labeled a clash of genres....metal, pop punk, hardcore, chunkcore.......naw, I'm just kiddin' about the 'chunkcore'. On a serious note, this album is another beaut from 2010. Catchy, to describe it in its' all, is the key to this album (along with the usual characteristics of °br00talness). You might have to get over the hump concerning C!NCC!'s vocals (and perhaps the lyrics based on friendship and your 'brothers'). They re-released it in 2011 and possibly will I have it up in the near future. Check up on that.....and this entire album, pronto.

1. Born of Adversity (2:56)

2. In Friends with Trust (3:27)***

Buried In Verona - "Saturday Night Sever" (2010)

2011-08-31T00:40:00.000-04:00

Remember all those bands you heard in 2010? If Buried in Verona isn't on that list then what the fuck are you waiting for? This is the best metalcore you will hear for awhile. Breakdowns, catchy riffs, melodic choruses...you want it, you got it. Saturday Night Sever is one of those albums you overlook but when you feast your ears onto it, you are quite surprised you almost did indeed skip listening to it.

2010-03-23T22:09:00.008-04:00

This is Conducting From The Grave before their first EP and just by listen to the technicality, you can tell. It was a great find finding this album because I couldn't get enough of CFTG's technical riffage, this just opened up more, fresh goodness for my collection. Enjoy.

We Came as Romans - "To Plant a Seed" (2009)

2010-03-23T22:00:00.002-04:00

Some of the softer stuff I'm jamming to lately. It's not necessarily soft but clean vocals are present a decent amount. Still packed with nice breakdowns and some interesting riffs. All the tracks are pretty good but "Dreams" stands out most for me.

Awesome album, definitely worth a listen for any metalcore/deathcore fan. Reminds me of a 3x heavier Miss May I because of the similarities in sound and progressiveness. "The Serpents Tongue" and "Revelations" are two tracks to be sure to check out.
