Review: Misser - "Distancing" EP

2013-05-23T09:00:00.000+09:30

Release InfoMisser - Distancing EP
Release Date: May 28^th, 2013
Record Label: Rise Records
Pre-order: CD/vinyl/merch

About a year has passed since Misser debuted its fantastic album Every Day I Tell Myself I’m Going To Be A Better Person, and the first notable difference between the two releases is the length of titles. Distancing finds itself exactly where an EP should: an effort to tide the fans over, to show them that their band is still around, writing music and evolving simultaneously.

The first three tracks of Distancing showcase the Misser that has become well known and loved by the majority of its scene. Each of these songs would fit in well with anything off the band’s debut. Nevertheless, it’s clear that Tim Landers’ cutting voice has stepped into a more prominent role to complement Brad Wiseman’s guttural yells. The change is welcome, though, showing two sides of the same emotional coin from two seemingly clashing vocalists who create angst-ridden harmonies.

The penultimate track “Alone, Die” is Distancing’s standout song while running at just under two minutes. The song’s entire structure is full of catchy riffs and lyrics, revealing it as the all-killer-no-filler track off Distancing. Misser, not surprisingly, makes another song of heartache and more blatant disgust become one of the catchiest tracks in its repertoire.

While “Alone, Die” shows Misser turning everything the band excels in up to eleven, “Slow It Down __ Write It Out” is something unheard of and new from the pop-punk outfit. The mid-tempo number is another short song at under two and a half minutes, but the length isn’t what’s vastly different; instead, Misser shows that it take off the gain and throw some extra musicianship into its music while still creating a solid tune. “Slow It Down __ Write It Out” isn’t amazing or anything that’s astonishingly new; rather, it just shows that there’s more to Misser than meets the eye, and that is always a welcome sign of big things to come from a band that should be on everyone’s radar.

Tracklist:
1. Goddamn, Salad Days
2. Infared
3. Burn Out
4. Alone, Die
5. Slow It Down __ Write It Out

Review: Liferuiner - "Future Revisionists"

2013-05-22T05:10:00.000+09:30

Release InfoLiferuiner - Future Revisionists
Release Date: June 4^th, 2013
Record Label: InVogue Records
Pre-order: CD/merch

With the many ups and downs experienced, along with the potential heat that this band may have stirred up way back in the hellish days of Myspace, Toronto, Canada's heavy-hitting straight edge torchbearers, Liferuiner, have recently established themselves again within the last couple of years; providing listeners with a blissfully progressive sound from their last release, Sons Of Straight Edge. While relentlessly staying true to their ethos as a credible straight edge band in the scene, we saw dramatic changes within their dynamic musicianship from this release. Digressing from the endless breakdown/2-step pattern that most metalcore and some hardcore acts tend to route with the direction of their sound, SOSE was more of a melodic release that implemented uplifting and inspiring messages into their songs to encourage their devoted fans to live for today and make the best of their time in this world. Approaching the early months of summer, Liferuiner continues to go above and beyond with their progressing sound with the release of their upcoming follow-up, titled Future Revisionists. Not only does this album still remain true to their hardcore influence, but also strives forward with their newly-championed passionate and melodic sound.

Originally releasing this single as a music video, the opening track, "Vacant", is a solemn introduction that provides listeners with a taste of what to expect from this release; reflecting back on their melodic transition from SOSE. With its blissful and piercing tone, "Vacant" is a song that definitely draws the listener in with the dreary and haunting lines heartily screamed out by vocalist Johnny O'Callaghan, "The thought of you will keep me warm at night/ the idea won't fill my bed, but everything you said has filled my head with hope", that will pierce right through the soul of any broken heart.

Alternating between their progressive and melodic sound, there are many tracks that stand alone on this release that still uphold to their heavier hardcore roots. "Savages", for example, is a track that proves to hold true to influence of their straight edge mindset. Powerful lines like, "When you inhale your poison/I hope you know it's a substance you choose over your life", address the concerns of struggling to watch friends slip away from reality through the use of harmful substances. Other songs like "C.O.P.E.", "Despair", and "Waivered Lives" are tracks, quite similar to "Savages", which also musically lean towards a heavier sound that is well recognized from Liferuiner's progressive dynamics.

While Liferuiner continues to reiterate their traditional melodic metalcore sound into certain aspects of this release, what is extremely breath-taking about many songs on Future Revisionists is the band's alternating dynamic to maintain an equal balance of their heavy-hitting style to compliment well with their captivate melodic sound. These attributes can be distinctly found in songs like "Fissure" and "Harvest/Famine", which embrace overwhelming feelings of loneliness and the struggle to search for acceptance. By creating an explosive musical entity to help some to vent out any overbearing emotions that weigh down many, these particular songs could help provide listeners with a relatable sense of comfort and solace. Finally, crafting together distinct elements of their sound the last two tracks of this album, "Dreamcatcher" and "Self-Purgatory" address the ideals of maintaining self-worth through personal growth. By combining blissful melodic interludes, which compliment with heavy-hitting chords, musically, these final tracks bring it home by summarizing a genuinely heartfelt and chaotic theme that has been reflected through their progressive and matured sound.

Progressive, melodic, and still staying true to their traditional straight edge hardcore influence after all of these years, Liferuiner crafted together a blissfully-explosive release from their full-length, Future Revisionists. By picking up right where they left off from their last release, Sons Of Straight Edge, this follow-up definitely goes in full circle with the potential a band can achieve; to not only establish a newly distinct and melodic sound, but to also stick true to their roots as well.

Tracklist:
1. Vacant
2. Waivered Lives
3. Savages
4. Feeling/Meaning
5. C.O.P.E.
6. Fissure
7. Harvest/Famine
8. Despair
09. Dreamcatcher
10. Self-Purgatory
