Posted up on their myspace http://www.myspace.com/allthatremains Definitely a different style. Pretty good. I can hear a little bit of My Last Serenade in The Damned. Clean vocals are kind of wacky sounding, but they aren't bad.
sounds brutal. but - I know that Phil's still in the band and he can do those type of deeper screams, but those clean vocals sound nothing like him. Relinquish sounds MeloDeath and Before The Damned sounds very MeloDeath aside from it's chorus which is more a poppier metalcore chorus. Very awesome stuff, looking forward to the album. Oh and insane guitar work.
I think the clean vocals definitely sound like Phil. You've got to keep in mind it's been a while since The Fall of Ideals and all that touring has probably worn on his voice a little bit, so he probably just sounds a little different because of that. But anyways, the songs are fucking awesome.
Keep in mind (I read on their website) they chose to released the two hardest tracks on the album first.
They did that with TFOI as well, releasing The Weak Willed first. Awesome tracks, I'm looking forward to the album.
I've got a feeling the two albums are going to end up being similar for me in that sense. "The Weak Willed" is my favorite track off The Fall of Ideals, and I've got a feeling "Before the Damned" is going to end up being my favorite track off Overcome. I love, love, love the clean vocals.
They posted another new song up on their myspace. I'm starting to get annoyed with the vocal effects he uses when singing.....
I don't hear any vocal effects on his clean vocals in "Chiron." I do hear, however, a change in the way he's singing. He's singing with more of an edge to his voice, instead of just using the flat-out clean vocal. I like it a lot, personally.
It's like they doubled up the singing vocal layers and tweaked one to give it a higher pitch. Can't believe you aren't hearing it.
I don't think I like the cleaner vocals on Chiron. Probably not because of the layering but yeah. The music is pretty decent tho.
Bar the clean vocals, I think I actually prefer Chiron to the two earlier songs. I'll definitely be picking this up when it comes out.
