Review:
"Fuck fashioncore"
As it's written down on their Facebook, these guys are pretty much setting a kind of an attitude to new and upcoming bands. Though they all don't know about it yet.
This verse is the meaning of creating an own sound as musician or band, what A Cripple Stole My Leg definitely have reached! Instead of copying styles and sounds, because of favoring bands, these guys have accomplished all their creativity to come up with some really fresh and technical and pretty heavy music, leaning onto the actual metal genres, though the members also have their favorite bands and heroes.
Endorsed with an funny sounding name, ACSML have composed a heavy EP of modern metal, which can be rated as general Metalcore, but there is much more behind it, than just Metalcore.
The CD entitled "Ribbons" is a broad spectrum of technical and melodic guitar work, which sound pretty well to the Vocalists singing.
As usual for Metalcore, the voice is mainly shouted and screamed. The screams aren't too high and shouldn't be any higher and the shouts end in deeper growls at many parts of the eight songs.
Variations on the riffs keep the dullness away. The riffs aren't played too long at any part.
You'll find breakdowns in slow and fast ways and a lot of great technical and fast hooks. Great speed changes and surprising melody kick ins. Definitely a great release for every Metalcore fan.
ACSML have a name, that forces to take a listen, and the crap in the first thought will immediately change to be a fan of this great band!
A lot of fresh ideas, that are new to Metalcore and catchy songs make this a solid release!
Check out these guys!
A 100% worth it!
Listen to them now!
