"The vocal melody of Ken Andrews and the repeated guitar riff from Greg Edwards form a spacey, intoxicating syncopation that becomes a psych-prog workout when the jackhammer drumming of Kelli Scott comes in. The tempos and timings shift as the song progresses, the veteran band operating like the well-oiled machine that it is. And we haven't even mentioned Failure's obligatory studio craftsmanship and hi-fi production. The song is a delight to listen to."
"Arch Enemy - "To the Last Breath" No that's not Angela Gossow... it's Lauren Hart! The former Once Human singer is now fronting Arch Enemy, who marked the occasion with the single "To the Last Breath." The track is in line with the top-tier power metal we've come to expect from the Swedish vets - mixing harsh and melodic metal seamlessly - and Hart sounds great, dishing out devilish snarls and death metal growls like Gossow and Alissa White-Gluz before her."
Failure released 'The Air's on Fire', its first new song in four years. The track grows from a smoldering fuse into a textural cacophony. Ken Andrews' vocal melody and Greg Edwards' repeated guitar riff create a spacey, intoxicating syncopation, and Kelli Scott's jackhammer drumming pushes the song into psych-prog territory as tempos and timings shift. The band operates like a well-oiled machine, backed by hi‑fi studio craftsmanship. Arch Enemy's 'To the Last Breath' introduces Lauren Hart with seamless harsh and melodic metal. Exodus' 'Goliath' is slow, bludgeoning doom around Gary Holt's arpeggio with Rob Dukes delivering savage growls. Poison the Well issued 'Everything Hurts' as a second comeback single.
