╠═════════════════════════════[RELEASE.NOTES]═════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ After three long years of what seemed like musical ôlimboö, My Heart ║
║ to Fear has at last returned, powerfully reminding the world that ║
║ they arenÆt stopping any time soon with their new release, ôThe ║
║ Draftö. Freshly signed to Luxor Records, the metalcore quintet has ║
║ had a seemingly turbulent past few years, but shows no signs of ║
║ letting up. ôThe Draftö opens with the track, ôRent Past Dueö, which ║
║ lulls the listener in with a sort of eerie ambiance created by a ║
║ single, echoing and droning voice that, with the addition of the ║
║ pleasantly unique vocals of Trevor Pool, gradually builds into a ║
║ heavy kick that sets the pace for the rest of the run. ║
║ ║
║ ôThe Draftö, is noticeably darker in musical and lyrical tones than ║
║ My Heart to FearÆs previous efforts, which all the more heightens ║
║ the sense of urgency that the release conveys. The next couple of ║
║ songs, however, springboard off of the slower first track, to more ║
║ upbeat and at times, blistering tempos, before winding back down to ║
║ a more deliberate, heavy-hitting beat for the final moments of ôThe ║
║ Draftö. It is an incredibly satisfying, and unquestionably brutal ║
║ procession. ║
║ ║
║ Intensely technical riffs and interesting, if not off-putting, clean ║
║ choruses carry the listener throughout the EP, along with the ║
║ unapologetic and charged lyrics that Trevor delivers. Guitarists ║
║ Dale Upright and Dan Pugh seamlessly transition from the ║
║ aforementioned riffs, to punishing breakdowns, and back to soaring ║
║ melodies with ease; showcasing the bandÆs maturity and development ║
║ since their previous albums. Luke Brady also provides air-tight ║
║ rhythms and beats on the drums, complemented by the solid work on ║
║ the bass by Taylor Pool. With their individual elements ║
║ synchronizing so well, My Heart to Fear has capably shown a ║
║ refinement of their craft and their sound that will keep the ║
║ listener coming back for more. ║
║ ║
║ Although ôThe Draftö definitely keeps the bandÆs reputation of ║
║ incredible technicality going, it is a deviation, if you will, from ║
║ their previous effort, ôAlgorithmö. Where ôAlgorithmö boasted ║
║ several cross-genre moments, ôThe Draftö does not venture far into ║
║ ôprogressiveö territory, but rather focuses on a more ║
║ metalcore-driven sound. This does not hamper ôThe Draftö in terms of ║
║ quality, however, yet those who are expecting a sound more similar ║
║ to ôAlgorithmö should take note of this. ║
║ ║
║ If there is anything about this release I personally do not like, ║
║ itÆs the EPÆs brevity. Not even clocking in at fifteen minutes, this ║
║ fantastic release feels ôshort, but sweetö, and I definitely want ║
║ more after about three or four play-throughs. For those of you who ║
║ dig the technical metalcore sound and top-notch quality of bands ║
║ such as Texas in July and August Burns Red, ôThe Draftö is a ║
║ definite must-listen, and My Heart to Fear is undoubtedly an act to ║
║ keep an eye on. ║
