An odd mix of light indie rock and noisy indie rock. I’m too high-strung to sit through the quiet songs, but “Design the Fight” and “Metal” are intriguing.
Eight years in the making, demo deals with Columbia and Immortal. They’re not just another melodic punk band with layered harmonies, there’s substance here.
Top-notch sobbing male vocals matched by strong anthemic female vocals belted out like Lullacry, Heart, and Drain STH. The guitars chug hard but melodically.
If you like your Blind Guardian-esque metal without the swooping highs and lows and feats of derring-do, then look to the cheeky audacity of Savage Circus.
Everything is perfect: The chord progressions, the meaty beats, the singalong vocal phrasings, the flashy-when-needed guitar work, and the heavenly hooks.
