Free Music Review: "The Oncoming Storm" Packs a Powerful Thunder
Hit: 5 Stars
"Whoa." That was my reaction when I first heard Unearth's new CD, "The Oncoming Storm". Words cannot express just how amazing this CD is. Now, I had huge expectations for this album: I was expecting it to be the best CD to come out this year and to be completely perfect. Even with those expectations, I was still blown away when I heard it. Top to bottom, this album simply amazes me and is my pick for Album of the Year so far.The first thing you will notice when you first pop this in is that Unearth has decided to favor more of the metal sound on this album and focus less on hardcore. However, they still have some of the most punishing breakdowns you will ever hear. There is a great Swedish metal influence on this record, especially on "Zombie Autopilot", which sounds a lot like In Flames.
The guitar work on this album is just absolutely mind-blowing, it gets very complex. This is their first CD with new drummer Mike Justain, and he provides drum fills galore throughout every song. One thing I love about Unearth is that they never take the easy way out. It would be very easy to just throw a record together and use the same formula and make it so that everyone can play their songs along with them. But, they use their talent to the fullest and play what sounds good rather than what is easy to play. Everything here has been given the time to be perfected, this is not some nu-metal record that was written in 20 minutes. Each song on this CD is different and special in its own way. A few ways that separate each song would be a catchy guitar part, a pummeling breakdown, or a guitar solo.
From the opening song, "The Great Dividers", to the closing song, "False Idols", this album is a miracle. It is so amazing, it will bring you to tears when it is over. But then again, you can always go back and listen to it again, which I strongly recommend you do. Everyone into the metal/hardcore scene better get "The Oncoming Storm". If you don't get it, you will regret it.
Standout Tracks: The Great Dividers, Failure, Bloodlust of the Human Condition, Predetermined Sky
