James Taylor

Salutations my good chums, this is my first thread on this. I'm reporting to let you know that there is a band, close to me that are gonna rock your tits in!! They're my friends of course but, they're on the rise. Their fan base reached an impressive amount in such a short time. Actually, their fan base sprout was so alarming that not just local bands I mean BIG bands from across the scene are offering to be at their side! In fact, the biggest band in the genre offered to help them out and show them some tricks of the trade, that band being (wait for it...) Bullet for my Valentine! Yes, Padge the guitarist for Bullet for my Valentine even offered assistance on their debut track, titled: EMPTY. Empty is a technical metal song that offers a melodic yet soul-draining emptiness in the intro, inducing the feel of loss in the writers story, hence the song title... clever. Moreover to blindside you with a somewhat unpredictable post(?) intro that blast open with the distortion riff and drums, showing a light in the dark. Overcoming the loss, crossing the Rubicon. Here... my only gripe with this song is the transition from the post intro to the first verse riff. It's a little abrupt. Not taking away from the song. The atmosphere is still intact. There was not blending or warning of such a riff to enter. The verse riff is of technical malevolence that could easily akin to that of early Trivium at their least forgiving but more towards there more upbeat and possibly punk inspired side. On top of this riff, the vocals is a delightful surprise combining a charming dulcet teenage-like singing voice similar to Maynard James Keenan to a masterful harsh scream pertaining to that of a more raspy Corey Taylor. I'd hate to sully the surprise as to how the rest of the song gestates into the hallmark it deserves to be but, I'll let you know in advance that there is a crescendo of a chorus coming up and a majestic solo late on in the song alongside some clever vocal (not too overly done-syth feel) effects before the final outro chorus. This is front page material and they're just getting started and they are guaranteed to not disappoint. This is their career in music only initiating and it is far from over. There is a journey ahead for them and their future is looking bright. This is Beyond Seven Signs and they are here to take over your headphones without a fight. 8.7/10 Link: ^ This is the link to the aforementioned track ^
