(Martyr)

It was a few years back that I was blessed to interview the lead singer ‘Samuel’ about the band, and it was then that I developed my interest in the band and since then I’ve had them on my radar, and today I get to cover their new release, and let me tell you, you now, this is not the album to miss!

7 tracks with a runtime of 23 minutes, and as usual, this band brings some of the most fresh, exciting, and vibrant metal in the game right now, and I love it!

Whether you’re talking about the lush and atmospheric instrumentation and production of those smooth guitars and melodically done drums, it all comes together track to track to make for a dreamlike experience that reminds me of bands like: 

-Sleeping With Sirens

-Black Veil Brides

-Memphis Mayfire, etc. 

A solid mix of heavier and lighter elements in the songs makes for a nice mesh of sounds and vibes to make this 7-track album something all kinds of Rock/Metal fans can enjoy! Something for everyone!

Now, onto the man himself, Samuel. Not to discredit the rest of the band’s performance because they do an incredible job at establishing the mood and vibe, but the vocals on Samuel are always mind-blowing to me. I can count on one hand bands in today’s era that have the same angelic/awe-inspiring vocals that he does, with every note sung, every chord hit, I feel goosebumps at his range, soothing delivery, and powerful performance!

Every song on this record hits on that next level due to the synchronicity of both singer and band, and this is a band I can honestly listen to for hours and never get sick of!

Whether you’re talking about that theatrical instrumentation or those vocals that could rival anyone in the game right now. This project is a must-listen to all, not only ‘Softspoken’ fans but metal fans in general!
