- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
For a band who only formed a couple of years ago, LincolnÆs, Climates, have
toured with the best of them and can name check the likes of Neck Deep, Bury
Tomorrow and Beartooth among those they have shared a stage with. Now the
5-piece look to capatilise on the head of steam built up with debut full
length, Body Clocks.
Just like Kanye West introducing himself to a disabled person bound to a
wheelchair, Climates waste no time introducing themselves, bypassing the
pleasantries and cutting straight to the point with an intense flurry of
callous drumming and raucous riffs, flickered with melody on opener æLeaves Of
Legacy.Æ
ThereÆs no time to rest either as the relentless rhythms of æHeaven (Is Only
In My Head)Æ makes its way through your ear canal sounding like AlexisonfireÆs
evil twin. ItÆs obvious that the scream clean route works a treat for
Climates, but theyÆre not just about the bog standard formula most grasp at,
with a hint of math-rock added for good measure, this is a heavyweight of a
track.
The quintet have a knack not just for settling into a pattern and make
alterations to their style throughout Body Clocks, making this less of a
record and more of an assertion. This should come with a health warning as
æCrypticÆ will leave you needing a neck brace with its straight-up hardcore
swagger and detonating drums.
The records not full of hits though, with the band missing the mark on a few
occasions as æIn The Heart Of ManÆ leaves you a little wet behind the ears
whilst æThe Bigger PictureÆ sounds a little void of ideas.
That feeling is short lived, as the band take a different path and venture
towards the atmospheric on æWorlds Away.Æ The vibes are set to grand as the
track sprawls with melodic fretboardicity and a stripped back approach on the
closer, æRealist,Æ carries the trend on, showing that Climates have more than
one string to their bow.
Body Clocks might blow hot and cold in places, but it does offer a glimpse of
what the Lincolnshire lads are capable of and why theyÆre brand of melodic
hardcore is sought after to tour with. File under, ones to watch.
