Review:
Old Metalcore is still alive!
As too many bands jump over into some groovy Djent Metalcore, or just create chugriff songs or even mix up their Genre, there are still some newcomer bands, who play the good old Metalcore, as everything began, such as in the beginning of As I Lay Dying.
Rose Maylie, probably one band, that should be taken as archetype of Metalcore!
A typical name for a good Metalcore band is always mysterious. Rose Maylie, named to the character Rose Fleming Maylie from Charles Dickens' novel 'Oliver Twist'.
These guys actually come up with a pretty refreshing style, that remains to the good old times where Metalcore was new and unexplored.
Catchy riffs, less breakdowns.
Fast alternate picking parts and typical Metalcore riffs, brought together, as i haven't heard them for quite a while.
A pretty good job on the vocals. Straight and aggressive growls and screams, which are still understandable. Here and there is a clean part coming up.
Musically Rose Maylie deliver a good sound, yet it's similar to many bands.
In my opinion these guys deserve some good reputation, for being one of the less bands of the genre, who aren't actually mixing up the style. They play their own thing and do it pretty well!
Their EP "Ambitions" is available on iTunes! (Didn't find the link)
Take a listen to them:
