Silverstein

Album: This is how the Wind Shifts

Genre: Post-Hardcore

Preview: On Brave Mountains we Conquer

This is proof that these guys can still rock.  Founded over a decade ago, Silverstein has now released 7 albums.  "This is how the Wind Shifts" does not betray the sound they have had and has reawakened my love for this band.  This comment is already too long, go check it out, oh and get the deluxe so you get the acoustics.

Even if you were not a fan of their EP, you should still check this out.  This band has improved greatly since their EP, which is saying a lot.  Act fast to buy lots of nifty stuff from the band, including music lessons and their singers performing as guest vocals in your band.

Also, I normally try to link the song that best describes the entire album, I added "I've had This Dream Before" as well so you could hear how world peace sounds.

Album Of The Month - January 2013 (Ross, The Only One You Should Care About)

Fall City Fall

Album: Victus
Genre: Hardcore
Location: Calgary, AB
Facebook
Preview: Anxiety Attack


Fall City Fall has changed from album to album leading up to this, and in my opinion each change has been an improvement.  Their last album they had a thrash metal feel, but the last song on the album, "Funeralationship", gave a hint to how this album would sound.  They incorporated their unique combination of screaming and speaking into their new songs seamlessly.  Go check them out on facebook, listen to their stuff and vote Ross 2016.
