::: Oceans Ate Alaska don't exactly fit into the typical :::
::: metalcore tropes. Sure, there's the plentiful breakdowns and :::
::: low-tuned chug goodness, but their frenetic guitars and odd :::
::: time signatures put their debut Lost Isles on a different :::
::: level than the typical album in the genre. Although the :::
::: record did tend to get tiresome at times, small doses :::
::: provided a big kick, but still allowed the record to flow :::
::: without overstaying its welcome. So, with a new vocalist in :::
::: tow, Hikari proves that their debut LP was no fluke, and :::
::: release a robust record that stays true to their sound :::
::: without resulting in a sophomore slump. :::
::: :::
::: Although much of what made Lost Isles great remains on :::
::: Hikari, the record as a whole feels far more varied and :::
::: fresh. New vocalist Jake Noakes proves his immense :::
::: capabilities, far outdoing anything previous vocalist James :::
::: Harrison could do. Jake's clean vocals are more melodic and :::
::: less grating, and are carefully placed throughout the album :::
::: rather than interjecting at random. 'Hansha' is a great :::
::: example of this, as his higher vocal register croons over :::
::: the erratic instrumentals during the runtime of the song. :::
::: His harsh vocals are also nothing to be messed with; his :::
::: more deathcore-esque screams result in the heavier moments :::
::: on the album feeling that extra bit 'extreme', never :::
::: detracting from the stop-start instrumentals, particularly :::
::: on songs like 'Deadweight'. The production also lends a :::
::: great helping hand to not only Jake but the entire band. The :::
::: album perfectly balances out the instrumentals, even if the :::
::: bass is perhaps not as loud as it should be at times, and :::
::: allows Jake's vocals to really grip the listener. :::
::: :::
::: Hikari overall proves a far more mature outing from a band :::
::: who had seemingly found a niche that they would stick with. :::
::: The namesake song on the record begins with a more subdued :::
::: intro before slowly developing over time, with the :::
::: relatively simple song structure proving to be a blessing :::
::: that the band blossoms into a fantastic track. The album :::
::: overall feels more fleshed out; the implementation of :::
::: traditional Japanese instruments, along with a shorter :::
::: runtime, allows OAA to broaden their work and implement more :::
::: variety into a sound that can quickly become overwhelmingly :::
::: stale. And even when they stick to what they do best on :::
::: songs like 'Benzaiten' and 'Birth-Marked', it hits far :::
::: harder than in previous efforts. All instrumentals are :::
::: entertaining and schizophrenic as ever; guitars stop-start :::
::: at will, drums remain fantastically overcomplicated, and the :::
::: bass has some great moments, particularly on interim track :::
::: 'Ukiyo'. :::
::: :::
::: Although it can be viewed as more of the same from Oceans :::
::: Ate Alaska, Hikari is a wonderfully intricate album that :::
::: still proves that the band have a few tricks up their :::
::: sleeve. New vocalist Jake Noakes proves that anything you :::
::: can do, he can do better, and enables the album to feel more :::
::: complex and intelligent than previous efforts. Although the :::
::: sound can become tired at times, Hikari puts Oceans Ate :::
::: Alaska at the top of their game, and really proves the :::
::: staying power of a band who had seemingly branded themselves :::
::: as just another metalcore-deathcore hybrid. :::
