October Rage-Fallout, Dust and Guns

 

Coming from the proud country of Australia, October Rage have released their latest effort, with

"Fallout, Dust and Guns".  Featuring the well done track of "Valkyrie".  This song is absolutely incredible.  With powerhouse vocals, guitar pounding melodies, and lyrics that are ragingly dark and effortlessly done, it's incredible!  Take for instance the lyrical lines that vocalist Nick Roberts belts out, I mean it's like they know how to rock out more than the normal "joe".  With the pulse raving drums of Kai Chambers, we are again left with little doubt that October Rage can survive in this crazy music world.  "Fallout, Dust and Guns" includes my favorite song of the EP, within the range of "White Walkers".  I mean, this one soars above most active rock songs these days!  Such a strong, melodic range of powerful influence, and a rocking sound, it's a track surely not to be missed.  "End Of Days" is dark is a triumph over most tracks released out there.  This song engulfs the "rain in life" that we deal with, and still shines with some kind of ray of hope, in which we all try and find in this world.  What a powerful track, indeed!  Another stand out effort is the song, "Signal Fire".  The guitars in this one are beautifully crafted, and the vocals are well layed out, with harmonies being so blissful.  To show they have a depth to them, October Rage include the arrangement and track of "Heart Of Stone".  Perhaps the "slower" track of the EP, this song is a rock ballad in the making, and a force to be heard!  I mean, I tried to find a weakness within this release, but it was tough nonetheless.  I suppose if there was a weakness, it was that there were not enough songs on the effort.  We need more!  Other than that, I am not sure where to leave you, but I suggest you go out, or online, and grab a copy of "Fallout, Dust and Guns" now!

Capture The Crown-Til Death

 

Capture the Crown are one of the most criticized bands I have ever come across in this

industry.  I know people love to call the band "copycats" and a lot of other names, in which you could pretty much imagine are all derogatory.  They do sound similar to bands like Asking Alexandria, Of Mice and Men, I See Stars, and others....however, they have more anger I believe.  Capture The Crown started out as a youtube band, releasing their first single, and music video for a song called, "You Call That A Knife?, This Is A Knife!".  That track is full of rage, anger, and lots of tilted, angst-filled words.  However, today's music, that formula seems to work well.  The album, which was released from Sumerian Records by the way, was released in December of 2012, exclusively to Hot Topic stores in hard copy form, and digitally on I-Tunes.  It is available almost everywhere now, these days.  They did a few lyric videos for songs, and a cover song of Jason Derulo's "In My Head".  This is one fucking bad ass cover track!  It did not make the album, for whatever reason, but it is far perfect for a future "Punk Goes Pop" release, no doubt.  Some of my preferred tracks from TIL DEATH are "OIMATEWTF", "Deja Vu'", "Storm In A Teacup", and "Insomniac".  My top two favorite songs are a heavy ass track called "RVG", which I believe has something to do with revenge, but I have yet to confirm the meaning of the three letters.  The other fave of mine is their current single and music video, "Ladies and Gentlemen.....I Give You Hell".  This is a sick, angry, hell of a song.  I say, take $9.99, go buy this freaking album, and rock out....you will love it, and vent at your own pace....I highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of hardcore music, like Beartooth, Gift Giver, Hatebreed, Asking Alexandria, I See Stars, Of Mice and Men, Crown The Empire, and more....Alright, 'nuff said....grab a copy, and blast this shit!
