Trivium is back with the release of their latest album, Vengeance Falls! The album was released on 10/9/2013, via Roadrunner Records, and has received quite mixed reviews from the metal community. Trivium has always been one of my favorite bands, because of the incredible amount of energy that they are able to bring to the table, consisting of lead singer Matt Heafy’s amazing vocal range and ability along with fast pace, hard-hitting, and technical instrumentals.

In Fear and Faith- In Fear and Faith Review
Before I start this review, I would like to apologize for the lack of content on this website; I have been busy with school work and there just haven’t been any awesome albums for me to review. So today, I am going to review an underrated album: In Fear and Faith by In Fear and Faith, so hopefully you guys can learn about this great band and expand your musical horizons. This self-titled album was the third release by the post-hardcore band In Fear and Faith, and it was released on 10/16/2012, via Rise Records. This album is hands-down one of the best post-hardcore albums I have ever heard due to a myriad of different reasons. This band is able to bring much originality to the table, and blends loud, impactful guitars and vocals with soothing orchestra and piano work. With so much talent present in this album, I am surprised that the band has not gained much fame and recognition because of it.
