I have been trying to check out a bunch of new bands lately and I have began to find a bunch that I like. One of these new bands is known as The Word Alive, and their song "Epiphany" is my song of the week selection. The Word Alive has taken a nice new approach to metalcore, combining very aggressive music with techno/dubstep elements and melodic choruses. The song "Epiphany" is one of the best songs to showcase this.
"Epiphany" immediately starts off absolutely brutal, with crunching riffs and pounding drums and almost blood curdling screams. Then a little into the song, electronic elements are introduced, and although they make the song no less brutal, they add a nice background element to the song. "Epiphany" lightens up and becomes more melodic several times throughout the song, allowing vocalist, Tyler "Telle" Smith, to sing and the band to take a more melodic approach and give the song some nice contrast. The song transitions well between the lighter parts and the heavy parts, and really pulls you into the song.
The mixture of brutality, melodics and electronic elements make this song, as well as this band, great. Since I stumbled upon The Word Alive, I have began to fall in love with their music and I can't wait to see them on Warped Tour this summer. If you are looking for some really brutal, yet melodic music, I would recommend The Word Alive, hands down. Posted below is their song "Epiphany". Let me know what you think.
