With the sudden over-saturation of Deathcore bands suddenly occuring, within the metal scene, it can at times be difficult to find an excellent stand out band. A sudden mainstream success, Deathcore fans may be looking for a band that sets itself apart from traditional bands associated with the genre. Beneath the Sky may just be that stand out band within the sea of Deathcore.
Breaking stereotypes setup by more mainstream Deathcore acts, Beneath the Sky utilizes various techniques in order to add another level of individuality to their music and their style. With a style that is different than fellow Deathcore bands such as As Blood Runs Black and Suicide Silence, Beneath the Sky creates their own unique take on the Deathcore genre that proves that not all bands within the metal sub-genre sound the same.
Beneath the Sky mixes high pitched growls, traditional to the genre, with occasional cleanly sung lyrics, a combination rarely seen in the Deathcore scene. Beneath the Sky sounds like a mixture of Suicide Silence, As Blood Runs Black, Black Dahlia Murder, and some Poison the Well. The result is amazing and my ears cannot get enough. The vocals range from the usual mixture of heavy Deathcore low pitched guttural grunts to high pitched squeals commonly associated with the genre, but Beneath the Sky also throws in clean vocals/singing. The clean vocals are performed occasionally, and the mixture works like a charm.
Songs like "It All Ends With a Smile" and "I'll Call This My Own", have a nice mixture of melodic and Deathcore influences and the balance is perfect. The entire album has the ability to present each track as "heavy" yet also feature the inclusion of great sounding clean vocals as well. This allows the album to be catchy on one end, yet remain heavy and traditional to Deathcore at the same time.
Songs like "Another Day" slow things down, proving the band has a wide range of musical talent beyond stereotypical Deathcore bands that don't utilize enough melody and rely too much on breakdowns. Instead, this song is performed relatively slowly, utilizing almost only clean vocal styles sung in a well defined manner. This track also features acoustic guitar work, which help set the overall feel of the song, adding yet another unique feel, and yet another dimension to the band's style and overall sound.
Beneath the Sky breaks all stereotypes set by more mainstream level bands within this suddenly overcrowded genre of metal. If you're looking for a great metal album to listen to, you can't go wrong with either "The Day the Music Died". I also highly recommend picking up their earlier release "What Demons Do To Saints".
