But for Southern California's own Kottonmouth Kings , blending rap and punk rock styles is only the beginning of the story. Releasing ten albums over the past nine years, the Kottonmouth Kings are more than a seven-man hip-hop crew. Password if there is one : Albumfire. Genre: Stoner Rap? Noble Standings 2.

Keyword: Dillinger Four. The genre has risen in popularity since the turn of the millennium. This is of course a rather simplistic definition of the genre, but to metal fans around the world, this subgenre is probably the most controversial of them all. While some metal fans may flock to this genre, many others turn their heads in disgust, calling the music "blasphemy", "mallcore" and the list goes on. Some elitist fans of the metal genre won't even call it heavy metal because they're so put off by the new sound of metal.
So where do I find myself in this battle of heavy metal fans? I hate not taking sides on debates, but I can't really put myself on either side. There are some bands in the genre that I think are some of the worst musical groups ever formed Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold, to name a few , but then there are other groups that give metalcore a very positive name and make me still give the genre a chance All That Remains and Bleeding Through. But still, one group in this battlefield of music remains to be the single savior.
The diamond in the rough. The cream of the crop. Unearth is that group. So how can this album possibly be that good? It's in a dying genre that didn't start off that strong in the first place. Well, it's complicated really. In short, these guys just write incredibly catchy, well crafted metal songs that just make me want to listen to them time and time again. If you're familiar with their past album, The Oncoming Storm, you'd know that this group's sound is rather heavy and borders along being almost traditional heavy metal.
The only thing that really kept them in the metalcore world was the fact that this group loves to include one thing really vital to their sound. When used correctly, it can be the most brutal and beautiful thing used in metal. It can start an insanely violent mosh pit in mere seconds and can leave your neck incredibly sore once it's all through. Of course, there are instances when the breakdown can become really old and boring They really know how to incorporate it into their songs frequently without making them seem trite.
It's really amazing how they can do it. So now that a little bit of a background has been presented, let's move on to the musicality of the album, shall we? The last album was enough to keep me pleased for many listens, but the group just didn't want to quit there. These two really pushed the limit on this album and have created by far their best work to date. The two of them trade off their harmonized leads and fretboard acrobatics off flawlessly, while still bringing in a good ol' breakdown to tear your face off in the meantime.
But wait, there's more! Ken and Buz are starting to bring back more traditional elements of heavy metal to their sound by addingmuch better guitar solos then they have in the past! The soloing is more than just mindless shred; they contain plenty of emotion and feeling and deliver just what the band needed to create what I consider to be a classic release.
The rest of the band does just what they need to do as well, but don't get as much attention as the guitars do in my opinion. While that's not really a bad thing, it's still noticeable to those who are vocalists, bassists, and drummers.
Bass player Jon Maggard isn't exactly the most audible person in the band, but he does what is necessary for the group by providing a thick, low end that the guitar players can base their rapid-fire riffing off of.
Metalcore drumming is also known to be quite speedy, so Mike Justian does just that. The entire album is filled with his swift double bass drum patterns, blazing fills and an pounding rhythms. Once again, it's ideal for the band. While the bass and drums stayed relatively the same from the last album, the vocals and lyrics especially have taken a turn for the better.
Trevor Phipps' voice, while staying similar to his past style, is just more powerful than in the past, and his annoying clean vocals are only but a sore memory at this point. His lyrics are also way better than they were on past albums. They're creative, catchy, and really powerful. I'm totally impressed with what improvement this entire group has made in just two short years. In conclusion: You need this album. It's the best metalcore album to date and I might even be so bold as to say it will be the album of the year.
