Review Summary: This album is a really good debut (is it called a debut when its an EP? doesnt matter.) and really impressed me compared to their late work in ETF *cough* Ungrateful *cough* and i am really looking forward to new stuff from them
Beyond Unbroken consists of mostly former Escape The Fate members like Monte Money and Micheal Money. The band technically existed since 2013 with the release of Break Free from Money Brothers and changed their name to Beyond Unbroken in 2015 if Wikipedia is correct (Always take what Wikipedia has to say with a WHOLE PACKAGE OF SALT).
(Before i get onto reviewing i want to say that i am NO PROFESSIONAL and i am fairly new to the reviewing "scene"?)
Under Your Skin - This is the first single of the EP released in 2015 and is a perfect way to start off the album. Starts off with some heavy riffs and smoothly transfers into the first verse. The "Pre-Chorus"-ish part of the song is some pretty good screaming from former Lead Guitar in ETF, Monte Money. Honestly this song is pretty lit. 7/10
Overdose - Overdose is one of three songs not released as a single and is (according to Spotify) their most popular song. Im not sure what i feel about this one. I like the 2011 FIR feel to the song but at the same the it just feels off. The Chorus is pretty catchy though. 6/10
Memories - Another one of the songs not released as a single and is probably the best song on the album in my opinion. This is where Monte's vocals peaks. Nice flow to the song and it hits me in the feels for personal reasons. The song has one drawback and that is the length of the song which is only 2:32 which is incredibly short. 9/10
Suffocate - Is also another song not released as a single and i pretty good. Monte has some pretty good "harsh" (didnt know if i should call it screaming. Sorry if i triggered someone) vocals. What stood out to me here is the drumming, i love me some kick drumming. But is overall a pretty solid song. 7/10
Losing My Mind - This is also a song released as a single in 2016. First time i listened to it, it was my favourite but in my second listen, not so much as that spot goes to Memories. Losing My Mind has kind of a 2013 ETF feel to it to no suprise (but way better ofc). The chorus here is amazing and the transition from chorus to second verse is awsome in my opinion.
Don't Wake the Dead - The Title Track as well as the last single released in 2016. It opens with some "harsh" vocals and a REALLY impressive chorus. This is one of the more hardcore songs on the album and i love it. This song is definintely not the best on the album but damn that chorus is good. 8/10
