The Ghost Inside's New Album, "Fury and the Fallen Ones" Is definitely one of the best cds from a "new" band that I have bought in a long time. The Disc Punches you in the face right from song one, and continues to impress throughout, with very few lapses in-between. This Review is written by a hardcore/metal Fan who also plays in a band and
is bombarded with "check this band out" several times a week. With that said, to people who are not terribly involved in the scene, this disc might get unfairly labeled as generic, or standard metalcore, but, for those of us who listen to hardcore, metal everyday, The differences between this cd and 90% of the other stuff will be pleasantly obvious, and in my opinion, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel to have your own style.
The band successfully takes different styles of metal, and hardcore and blends them together to raise the bar for the throngs of other bands that are trying to compete for space in the (almost) too crowded genre. This bands sound takes melodic hardcore elements, (Comeback Kid, Shai Hulud) blends them with metal precision, and driving, yet not so predictable, riffs (Bury your Dead, The Agony Scene) and manages to keep a very tough hardcore integrity with vocals that are in your face from start to finish (Terror, Hatebreed)
The musicianship on the record is very good. Nothing on here is super technical, but everything is "diamonds packed into coal" tight, and the riffs are well written and for the most part, nothing is overly predictable, with some parts and transitions taking you completely by surprise (which i might add, is becoming pleasant rarity for me these days) Soyer Aaron and Tyler have done a great job developing their own guitar/bass sound with the riffs and tone on this album. They've managed to pull off melodic, and driving, and heavy, which in my experience a lot of bands can do 2 out of those 3 things but rarely all 3. KC's drumming compliments, and backs up the Guitars and Bass very well. He plays perfectly for the parts, and is just flashy enough in the right spots to make him very fun to listen to, but not so flashy that the song loses its punishing stride. And did I mention rhythm section machine tight? The Vocalist Vigil in my opinion has the ideal sound for a hardcore vocalist. He has the very mid range, even toned, intense, Jamey Jasta, (Hatebreed) or Scott Vogel (Terror) style vocals. I found the lyrics to be very tough and real throughout, which makes him more credible than other bands that want to be so tough that their lyrics are just over the top, or cheesy, or downright BS
I think this album is absolutely worth the ten bucks paid, and proves you can be outside the box, catchy, and STILL make a listener want to windmill kick somebody.
