Free Music Notes for Declaration
Free Music Review: Perfection!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
this review comes from someone who is dearley passionate about Bleeding Through. I have followed these guys for almost 4 years now and have witnessed their progression from Dust to Ashes, portrait of the Goddes, This is Love, and the Truth, (self titled review on the way). i've been a member at amazon for years now and i figured it was time for me to voice my opinion. i was one of the ones who anxiously anticipated declaration's released after it had been delayed thanks to trustkill. but all that was said and done with and it was finally released over two years ago. now things have come full circle and now its time for me to critique them. most thought BT's pinnacle of success was The Truth. i would agree with that statement in terms of records sold, not improvements. Declaration is the definitive album in the band's 10 year career. it improves on everything that made the other albums awesome and throws a whole bunch of curveballs at you. yes this is BT, but it is a totally different sensation, almost a 'new' BT.
Brandon, Marta, Jona (now with BMTH), Brian, Derrick, and Ryan have truly pulled out all the stops with declaration. as the theme of the truth flowed quite well, declaration isnt just a song, but the theme of the album. its riddle with ambiance and borders on the emotional side. brandon finally delves deeper into his song writing divulging his 'final' goodbye to the anguish that initiated his song writing years ago. marta's notes have take a sudden shift towards the black metal side,ut it is all too fitting. the riffs are deeper and heavier. add intruments, brandon's scathing voice, and powerful harmonies, and you have one of the best albums in the genre.
released over two years ago, i will try to review each song appropriately now that i have had substantial time to let everything sink in.
FINIS FATALIS SPEI (5/5) - a enrapturing intro by marta starts the album off, plunging you deep into the 11 tracks that remain. its prevelant in the intro the mood and theme of the album are going to be the key in repsecting its entirety.
DECLARATION (5/5) - starts with a pulse-pounding intro that never lets up followed by brandon earth shattered screams. his vocal range in this song particular is quite extroardinary. add in a guest spot by as i lay dying front man tim lambesis and you have a masterpiece. its the band's staple against all oppostion and truley becomes an instant BT classic.
ORANGE COUNTY BLONDE AND BLUE (5/5) - released as the first song off declaraction on their myspace all those years ago. its fast and heart-wrenching...one of my favorites of the album.
GERMANY (5/5) - its been quotes that this is brandon's favorite song off the album, in which i would agree. this one in particualr has a specific vibe to it that none of the other ones share. the evoking instumentals backed by brandon's vocal prowess make germany the all-star. the ending of the song is one of the most raw and intense thing i have ever heard.
THERE WAS A FLOOD (5/5) - if you catch the intro, it is a scene from the matrix revolutions (i believe, when smith finds seraph and the girl, all the lights shut off in the corridor). in any case, the harmonious beginning is extremely captivating, almost too sensational. this is one of the most standout tracks on the album. it takes the album to a new height revealing their diversity with clean vocals and a spotlight by marta herself.
FRENCH INQUISITION (4/5) - a fast, rigid song that amplifies the quality of BT work. it truly delves into brandon's mind based on the choices of lyrics and symbolism.
REBORN FROM ISOLATION (5/5)- again, brandon shows us his range in vocal skills that grips you until the song is over. this song can be linked right to the ongoing theme. keeping in mind the overal tone and symbolism of the term 'declaration.' also a intense guiat solo from current guitarist david nassie breathes new life into the track.
DEATH ANXIETY (5/5) - nothing less than perfect. most have seen it on youtube or on their myspace. i cant say enough about this track, it sounds so brutal with the intrumentals yet peaks when it arrives at the chorus which is one of the most profound on the album. also it was ryan wombacher's turn to start utilizing his voice as well.
THE LOVING MEMORY OF ENGLAND (5/5) - transitions beautifully from death anxiety and slows the album down before it ends too soon. its short but packs and emotional punch with again, the symbolism of the album. it justhas that ambiance that creates goosebumps.
BENEATH THE GREY (4/5) - a solid track indeed. it has a diverse range of instrumentals and packs a punch.
SELLER'S MARKET (4/5) - i enjoy the song becuase it preps you for the ending. it sounds cool but doesnt quite stand out amongst the rest as being truly definitive
SISTER CHARLATAN (6/5) - the conlcusion to the album. the end of brandon's torment. everything that he needs to say comes to an end here. there arent any words to describe this track. most have heard it live, or downloaded it by now. but its much more significant than that. the sheer power and force emitted from the song are indescribable. brandon finally gets the thing that has bothered him the most for all these years, off his chest. it exudes sheer feroucity that cant be matched in any of their other songs. the rapture of the intro pays homage to finis fatalis spei and starts immersing you in powerful guitar riffs. the brandon's voice compells you to feel his emotion and understand the band's statement. match powerful verses with an all too perfect clean section with ryan wombacher and you have a masterpiece. when the climactic build to the ending comes, you almost are inclined to start it over or turn it off becuase you dont want it to be over. but the finishing statements of the song conclude the album astoundingly. followed by a mesmerizing outro yor left with your jaw on the ground and wondering what could possibly top that ending. it is (in my opinion) their best song, and one of the genre's most influential.
BT have overdone themselves with the album. like i said, i am a diehard fan so some of this may seem like bias. but this album is sheer gold...
Declaration Poster
Where many bands at this stage in their career start talking about melody, accessibility and radio airplay, Bleeding Through resists the trends and walks where many artists fear to tread. Declaration is heavier, darker, angrier, more pissed off, faster and more epic than anything in the band's already impressive catalog. The follow up to The Truth (2006) and This is Love, This is Murderous (2003), which have sold a combined quarter of a million albums worldwide, was produced by Devin Townsend in Vancouver, British Columbia. Declaration is incredibly dense, layered and full of atmosphere, recalling the finest moments of classic death metal, black metal and hardcore. Bleeding Through has always stood for the broken-hearted and betrayed. Declaration expands further upon that idea. Contrary to earlier reports of a conceptually driven album, Bleeding Through's latest is their most diverse offering thematically, addressing a variety of topics on tracks like "There Was a Flood," "Germany" and "Death Anxiety."Alternative Rock Music CDs
