its a big improvement from their previous album, ill be excited to see how the rest of the songs turn out. so far i give this song a thumbs up.

Vocals are great. Song was even better. Stoked.

These guys are such bros. All I remember about this band is they had their genre listed as "beercore" and it pissed me off.

Song sounds better than anything off Creature. Not as annoying since only the leads are harmonized instead of every damn riff.

This is pretty sick!!

Big win

That was pretty enjoyable.

I am really impressed. Sounds really tight but I enjoyed Creature for the most part.

i like this except for the production being too treble-y

BEERCORE!

Tims old band played in my town before, as soon as he join I knew it would be awesome i hated there old vocalist

Song was pretty meh for me, but a HUGE improvement over Creature

This will be SO much fun

junjun-fun?

The very same

Song was mostly stupid until halfway through, haha this band harmonizes fucking everything

Creature was a fun album, this should be even better

the vocals are deff alooooooot better with this new guy but still i get the feeling of the guitars holding back a bit, idk maybe is just their style of playing now

Wow, didn't even know it was a new guy. But yeah, I like these vocals much more.

wtf is with all of this empires shit in core?
Animosity - Empires
The Word Alive - Empire
Within the Ruins - Empires

and I'm sure there are more

Well, there's also my band...

MUAHAHAHAHAHA TOGETHER WE SHALL CREATE AN EMPIRE

yea the vocals are waaaayyy beter, the click in the double bass is gone,
and you can finally hear the bassist for once.

this needs a bump

So now we got this, After the Burial and Conducting From the Grave to look forward to :D

and born of osiris and and the human abstract. oh and protest the hero

I was referring to "Sumeriancore" but yeah, Born of Osiris counts too. I love those guys.

sick my article was accepted. I LOVE the riff towards the end. they write such catchy riffs.

Sounds promising.

I'm glad I got to see these guys twice in a tiny storage room last year. Worst 'venue' ever, but it introduced me to this awesome band.

I missed them like twice this year alone, i hear there will good live.

good tune.

@bloc

whats your band's name brah?

song sounds sick, there are better riffs, and ACTUAL SOLOS!?!?!?!?

i still prefer the old vocalist, joe grande, over this new one, tim goergen-- he just seems so monotonous and can't do the high-pitched stuff that was a nice touch on "creature"

but overall still very excited.

havent listened to it

whats your band's name brah?

I already said it:

MUAHAHAHAHAHA TOGETHER WE SHALL CREATE AN EMPIRE

"I was referring to 'Sumeriancore' but yeah, Born of Osiris counts too. I love those guys."

Within The Ruins is on Victory, not Sumerian.

But they still got that similar sound, no?

um, you did here the re-recorded version of the book of books with tim right?

he does everything joe did, but better

I like this band a hell of a lot more than BOO.

I like this band a hell of a lot more than BOO.


Yea i have to agree on that one, they are waaayyy better than BOO.

Liking it. Stoked for this release!

I loooooooooove BOO, much much more than this.

bloc i thougt you were cool and in my books BOO = no coolness

You need a new book, son

well The Book of Books is my book

Bloc, I commend you. BoO is awesome. This is pretty damn fun though.

If you kids want coolness go watch Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

band is so much better than boo

Iunno about so much better, especially given the new BoO sampler.

BoO still needs to do something about their vox imho.

Nah yo, they're nice and raw

Agreed, BoO vox aren't bad. Not their best element, but it's not really a drag.

It's the one thing that I don't like about the band.

there voxs were pretty okay on the new reign, i dint like them that much on AHP

But how? It's not even different enough from other vox in the genre to warrant it, I think. I understand that it's not really different, though, but that's core for ya.

Well its about what fits more if you ask me. BOO vox fit more on there first album than there second one. The new Within the ruins vocalist fits better than there old one. the difference between the two is huge.

I don't like to talk about A Higher Place. Can we pretend it didn't happen?
Abstract Art > ALL!!!!!!!

No we cant!!!!!!!!! that like pretending minutes to midnight didn't happen haha

Oh god, please don't. Iunno though, apparently some people REALLY liked A Higher Place and hated The New Reign.

Still pretty amped for new BoO to come out. Should be a lot better than AHP, now that the synth actually has a legitimate presence again.

Yea they killed the synth on AHP. I still think the new Within The Ruins will be better, thats probably cuz i like them more. I like both bands tho

AHP was a disaster, the recording was awful and none of the songs flowed right. First album was wayyyy better. Within the Ruins will probably release a better album, but I expect them to both be amazing.

excellent
