Free Music Notes for The Perfect Moment

Free Music Review: American metalcore with something to say
Hit: 3 Stars

The first notes of "The Beginning" (after a brief intro track) suggest Losa plays a signature mix of metalcore with atmospheric breaks, typical screamed vocals, passages with drum and acoustic solos, and cutting guitar work. Although over eight minutes, the song goes through several movements with perfect flow and harmony, concluding with Michael Hall's soaring scream vocals.

All other songs that follow this one are shorter cuts. They focus on both complex riffs (by American metalcore standards) and angry, screamed vocals. However, there are pieces when the singer goes for overkill, as on the end of "One Day All Eyes Went Dim", which honestly sounds ridiculous. The instrumentation is a lot better though. Lots of discordant riffs permeat the piece with great drumming to boot. Similarly, "From the Ashes of Infancy" is one of the better songs, being mostly instrumental. Guitarists Chris Ramirez and Kory Koch play great riffs, mostly staccato type of stuff, and the drumming is quite varied. "Linear Prophecy" is one of the most melodic songs on the album, featuring extended guitar soloing that eventually segues into "Church of Pitted Vipers", a track with nice clean vocals (and perhaps the reason why this band gets compared to Tool though that's too much of a strech in my opinion). Very slow acoustics, murmered vocals, and shiny cymbals continue pretty much through all of its duration, until Michael Hall lets out a terrific scream and more electric riffs are brought into the mix. The atonal guitar lines on "Madness (Sentiment of a Dying Man)" are also great, save for the overdone screaming.

Mastered by Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan), the album has a great sonic punch and the mixing is superb. Some people have compared Losa to other greats such as Mastodon and Strapping Young Lad, but I personally don't think Losa is similar to either band. They're just a more complex and instrumentally challenging type of metalcore band and it's these qualities that distinguish Losa from the horribly overrated Killswitch Engage and many others.
