- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Since Kola Ze Taim did their new album today, I figured it was a good time to
release this EP as well. Track 3 featuring Landon Tewers of The Plot In You,
Track 5 featuring Ryan Neff of Miss May I. Enjoy.
Having only previously heard the three original demo tracks of æObliviousÆ,
æGrowing. Caving. Searching. Sinking.Æ and æChangesÆ, I was quickly impressed.
FROM ATLANTIS mastered the finer points of modern metalcore: crushing and
groove laden breakdowns with aggressive vocals that arenÆt too over the top
and clean vocals that are familiar but different enough to keep your interest.
With the release of Echoes and Answers, FROM ATLANTIS continue this impressive
talent. Redoing those three track and adding updated flare has sent them into
territory previously covered by THE PLOT IN YOU but manage to keep themselves
distinct. It helps that Landon Tewers of TPIY had his hand in this EP.
Starting off things on a slightly different approach is æReflectionsÆ. ItÆs
semi dub/trance intro quickly falls to the wayside as the band kicks it into
overdrive and begin their reign of mosh filled destruction. The beating
continues as every track is executed perfectly and precisely meant to keep the
tight pant wearing crowdÆs kicking and swinging for an entire set. Vocally and
lyrically, FROM ATLANTIS excel in making things fresh. Nothing here is too
formulatic and that makes a world of difference when every new band and their
neighbors are clamoring to make waves in this genre. æObliviousÆ starts of
with a nice calm, meloncholic piano intro that briefly makes one think itÆs to
be the æmandatoryÆ ballad, but just seconds into it, it turns into yet another
snarling, bone crushing beast. Like FIT FOR A KING and LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES,
FROM ATLANTIS are a shining bright light in a sea of mediocrity. Echoes and
Answers is a great taste of what is to come with the bands upcoming 2012 full
length.
