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.

Track Listing:
1. Paranoid Disgust

Download (320kbps)
Preview: "Paranoid Disgust"

This band never seizes to amaze me. This single sounds a lot different then their previous works, mainly because they lost their keyboardist (I have no clue what happened), and even though that was my favorite part they still manage to melt my fucking face off. whether it's the riffs in this song, the drums, or the sexy vocals, something has improved a shit ton. Although I enjoy there album "The Blackness" (here) more, this is still an amazing piece of work.

Preview: "The Lake Of Metanoia"

This is my personal iTunes purchase and there's a reason why I bought this. Honestly "The Blackness" is one of my, if not my favorite, albums. Not of a certain year, but of time. I'm a major fanboy when it comes to this band and I don't see anything wrong with that. I mean, just listen to that fucking preview song. It's so beautiful and get this, that's not even the best song off the album. "Devoid Of Light" has much more crazy synths and "Running In Circles" has better guitar. Definitely check these guys out; give them a like on facebook, buy their merch, and tell them we sent you ;).

Out Of Yesteryear is one of my absolutely favorite bands. This release was kind of like a broadcast of their talent and I believe the track "A Human Leftover" captures a lot of said talent. Although I prefer their newer releases, which strayed away from the more deathcore-ish sound, this is still a really solid EP. Go show this band some love on facebook.

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.
