I first heard a couple of songs from these guys from The Posion, but I didn't actually listen to an album of theirs till Scream, Aim, Fire, which was a great metal album. Loved every song on there. I ended up buying Fever, which wasn't as guitar crazy as SAF, but still awesome.

^ The poison was a pretty good album. Probably the one that sounded the most metalcore out of their work.

Their Demo as well. Hand of Blood. Was amazing.

Their songs sound alot alike to me (in reality they aren't, but I never listen to them with heart), but I like to listen to them from time to time :) It's really relaxing!

There albums have a good uniform sound so that might be why. And I wouldn't exactly call their music relaxing.

Can't wait to hear their new material. I wouldn't mind another Fever, which is what their new album is suppose to sound like, but this time around a bit heaver. Fever was more hard than heavy to be honest.

Matt's panetra/slipknot influenced side project (Axewounds) also sounds like it could be interesting.

It's like Fever but with sprinklings of the Poison. I was worried the label had totally watered them down. And I'm glad they didn't mess up Tears Don't Fall Part 2.

They're awesome. I came to know them cause Leda's (DELUHI) always mentioning them. "Just Another Star" somewhat reminds me of Orion Once Again.

idk maybe its just me.

I went to check out each song after the other and you're right! Especially some of the screaming parts. I never noticed that before.

 

 

Tears Don't Fall (Part 2) is really awesome! The arrangement is exactly the same as the original. lml

 

Yeah I noticed that too. And the intro riff is the same as the original but played backwards.

Frankly I love these guys , and it really makes me happy seeing other J-Rock fans do to. I don't see where people get off saying they sucks? Why , because they know how to compose music that doesn't sound like a ton of shit? Its the same deal with Black Veil Brides , but there's other reason they're slammed on which are fucking ridiculous reasons.

I gotta say I really liked Temper Temper. The songs aren't terribly original, but are fun nonetheless (title track, Riot), and some very nice lyrics (P.O.W. Livin' Life). The only dissapointment was Tears Don't Fall Pt. 2. It isn't bad, but doesn't come nowhere near the first.

 

Overall, another good effort by this very good band.

All the hate they're getting is from Temper Temper. Mostly because people are saying it's too simplistic. And some of the songs are more stripped down, in favor of being more accesible, but the album as whole is still really good. It's not like they went soft or anything. The screams and double bass drumming is there and the guitar solos are awesome. They still rock and I'm seeing these guys live for the first time in April.

 

As for Black Viel Bride's they do get a lot of hate for really stupid reasons. But on each album they've vastly improved and their latest is the best release they've done so far. Andy's improved vocals and the cool addition of string sections were great.
