Unearth - The March


Unearth is a metalcore act that formed in Massachusetts 1998. If you ask me they are responsible for some of the strongest metal tunes produced from 2000 and forward. Stuff like "Zombie Autopilot", "Stings of Conscience" and "Black Hearts Now Regin" really made me realize how Thight and Powerfull a great metal tune should be. So with all these great releases behind them, can they still hold-on to that quality and genius song writing? The answer to that question is Yes! That´s the thing with this band, they never let you down. Since their epic album release 2004 "The Oncoming Storm" they put the bar up high on every aspect of how a great metal album should be. And since then they have kept that bar on the same heights for their releases. This album "The March" released 2008 begins with the track "My Will Be Done", and the intro on this track is just magnificent. It gets you straight-of, and then comes some beautiful hooks and breakdowns that makes you want to mosh in your living-room. "Grave Of Opportunity" is another track that immediately stands out. This track has a very strong chorus followed by a great breakdown that gives me goose-bumps. The album goes on in 120mph, short tracks that feels like a roundhouse-kick straight in the diaphragm. This album is a must if your into hard-hitting melodic metalcore. So is this their strongest release yet? I have to say No on that question. I can't really pin point why. But nether the less its among the top metal albums in its genre out there right now. If you never have heard Unearth before i urge you to get their "The Oncoming Storm" album from 2004. Its already a classic in my book.
