From: Everett, PA
Sounds like: Metal
Awaken From Ruin are an up and coming Metal band from Everett, Pennsylvania that recently released this seven track EP. Let's dive in and see what they're all about. "Within The Fire" opens up the EP with a marching vibe before breaking into melody and a brilliant guitar solo. It's the calm before the onslaught of what's about to take place. "Oblivion" kicks into high gear with a Thrash/Death Metal style that brings to mind Black Dahlia Murder or early Bring Me The Horizon. The clean sung chorus helps elevate the track to an even higher level and has a certain Sea Of Treachery/I Killed The Prom Queen influence to it. The guitar solo on the track is out of this world and the end breakdown is pulverizing. "Entitled" comes in with early Atreyu melody and brutality. The track is outstanding and any fan of Melodic Metal will eat this up. The end breakdown on the track is just total bonkers. "Sherman" has early Parkway Drive qualities to it as it takes a sledgehammer to the door of Metal. It's heavy as hell. The soaring melody on the track helps build depth, resulting in a highly listenable Metal track. Brilliant guitar work and destructive breakdowns are par for the course with the song as well. "Endless" features a Southern Metal style to it. There seems to be a Pantera vibe while still mixing their own signature sound to it. It's a bit of an anomaly of a track as it has a slightly different sound than the previous tracks. The track makes it all worth it with its perfectly blend of melody and devastation. "Rise" has shades of early Slipknot as it blasts full speed ahead and only stops for brief moments as the soaring chorus takes flight. "The Horde" closes out the EP with a slow sludge of a track that brings to mind Lamb Of God with its intensity. It's a heavy way to close out an incredible EP.
Verdict:
Awaken From Ruin have an EP here that's filled with all kinds of chaotic Metal fun.
