EP Review
A different side to the LA Sound, home of The Killers, is let out of the bag in this fervid metal skirting, post rock mini-album that is freshened up by eerie ambient moments and is most prevalent in the title track. The searing guitar fronted onslaughts reach their Zenith in the chilling 'The Reason' and the fiery 'As You're Falling Down', they are made effective by cruising and almost melodic build-ups, coupled with the slowly haunting vocals of Ronnie Radke, who hovers delicately between the styles of Dustin Kensrue and Chris Conley to eek the heart out in the songs. Then he and the band transform the songs into possessed, paranoid and yowling metal/post hardcore attacks.
The morbidly prosaic lyrics concealed within the Senses Fail crossed with Honeywell offering 'The Guillotine', provides a clear example of the band's sordid and troubled, yet brave nature;
We've reached the covenant to kill what we have started to kill, the machines.
We've spawned to fight in the darkest hour they really need to know we really gotta go.
Fight to live, we fight for our pride, we won't back down the weak won't survive.
This provides for a shattering end to a bracing five-track introduction to this corrosive outfit that blends metal and emo, as though they were milk and eggs.
