Every Time I Die - From Parts Unknowns (14/08/2014)
Every Time I Die are fucking bonkers. Just as the members themselves are crazy, hilarious and erratic people and performers, their music follows in the same suit.
From Parts Unknown is a chaotic and relentless album that seemingly never let's go. It's purely twelve hardcore songs that never stop bouncing off the walls. Much like the now deceased hardcore veterans, The Chariot, Every Time I Die write hardcore music that starts as quickly as it ends; abruptly and sharply. Like the peak of summer vacation, it never really is a dull moment with this band. Even on the mellowed out Moor, there's a bustling sense of urgency to get from point A to point B of the song, cramming as many riffs, licks, grooves and screams as one could imagine within. Although the album does lean to the "overly-familiar" side of things and can come off as reprieve, the record is broken up at times by varying aspects of the band. |
On Decayin' With The Boys for example, the band breakout into what I can only describe as a funk-hooked ladened bridge that gives a breath of fresh air to the stuffy, sweaty and hot room that is From Parts Unknown. Although subtle, these varying sections allow for the album to really not only embrace the erratic aspect of hardcore, but also the bands own weird and offbeat style.
See, Every Time I Die really don't care. They don't care if halfway through a blistering verse they slam out into a big catchy melody line (checkout Old Light for that one). They do what they want when they want; literally. And that is what hardcore is about. Giving no fucks but still giving all you've got.
