The
Oncoming Storm was produced by Adam Dutkiewics,
and you can hear that.
Though not being an imitation, UNEARTH sound
similar to the metalcore gods Killswitch Engage.
Hard, modern metal with a slight harcore attitude, nice melodies
and brutal vocals, improved with an excellent production. Well,
a killer-song like Rose Of Sharyn or When Darkness Falls (from
KSE's …Heartache release) can't be found on The
Oncoming Storm, instead the music is endowed with
a higher level of aggression. False Idols, The Oncoming
Storm, Failure – just listen and you'll know
what I mean.
UNEARTH is best when this aggression and power
is concentrated to a brutal breakdown, only waiting to be released
again by a sudden fast and hart uptempo riff. Endless
or the already mentioned False Idols take no prisoners
and are a final hit against the stupid NuMetal-stuff. Great work!
