Review Summary: A monumental achievement.
Doctor Strange’s third eye thought this review was well written
Once I found August Burns Red, Silent Planet and Born of Osiris I honestly didn’t need to fill my life with another metalcore band. I only have so much time, ya know? I got a toddler. In Stasis doesn’t care about my lack of time, or my feelings, it only cares about coming in hot, and like toddlers touching the stove, this *** is HEAT. In the entire album there’s almost no break from the relentless guitars and intense drum work. It slows down a bit in False Providence but you’re still getting a ***load of metal. More specifically, you’re getting metalcore that doesn’t abuse a 4/4 time signature the entire time, but that may be the tricky riffs confusing my ears, who knows.
The riffs are like if one of those wind up toys walked on your face after you winded it up real good, but in a metal way. Idc, it makes sense to me. The drums slap harder than if Will Smith was Fred Flinstone in real life, and the bass also slaps like it’s a party specifically for slapping people. Lastly, the sung parts slap. At this point, just assume that everything in the album slaps harder than that kid I slapped in high school. Let’s just say that the honorable band members probably sleep with their instruments and then wake up and brush their teeth with them. The vocals also count as an instrument (if you know anything about music), and of course he hits every note easily, including squeaky high notes that sound better than Saosin (fight me). The growlies are cool too, they got style. They got variety. They got me hard.
What a great album! I haven’t injected something this quick in my system since my booster shot. The virus that this *** fights off is mundanity. There’s nothing boring or average about this album, it is simply what I needed to keep my hopes for metalcore in 2022 alive. I’m sorry Silent Planet, I love you guys, but this *** is fire. Now *** off everyone in my life, I have some musics for this progressive djentleman to listen to. m/
