Inked In Blood - Sometimes We Are BeautifulPosted by Rachel Lux on 26-Feb-08 @ 02:09 PM
[3/5]Well, it's about fucking time! About fucking time a band from the new-school of melodic metalcore stopped the incessant spinning of their At The Gates and In Flames albums and gave a thought to Drowningman and Shai Hulud. Sure, xenophobia is politically incorrect, but when everybody and their sister are "borrowing" from the same handful of songs, severe over-saturation is unavoidable. Plus, there's a ton of kick-ass stuff on this side of the Atlantic for bands to pick apart. Sometimes We Are Beautiful may not be entirely gnashing or ferocious, but a good number of its songs highlight a healthy helping of serrated riffs, counterpoint guitar duels and energetic tempos. It's too bad, then, that Joey Trump's sing/scream possesses little distinction, as he sounds like 75 percent of the vocalists featured in these pages-and 80 percent of the future vocalists presently reading our hallowed tome.
