Endless progression and evolvement from this band. This is a great time for metalcore music.

Spencer Chamberlain and Dustin Kensrue make a pretty solid pair of vocalists for this band..

Obscure and intense, say hello to 2011 fall metalcore masterpiece.

Micah clearly stepped his game up, but this is overrated already just based on these soundoffs, and the album is still a few weeks away from release. It drags a bit in places. But hey, the drumming is good!

As an Atheist, this album has much more accessible material than their previous work. I know that I'm twisting the meaning to my own liking, but I can't help but love songs like Shed Your Soul. "I SAW GOD DIE"

An improvement over Son of the Morning in every way possible. Although they haven't quite topped When I Am God yet, Micah Kinard's vocals thankfully sound back to form and Shane Blay's guitarwork has never been so impressive. What the album lacks in creative restraint, it entirely makes up in fun factor - it's not perfect by any means, but it's an entertaining performance from each musician and a welcome return to form.

With strong lyrics, well crafted song structures, creative fills and unrelenting chaos throughout the album, Oh, Sleeper have created a record that showcases their beliefs and their progression while at the same time adding several new tricks to their sound, one of these being the drastically improved vocals.

A tasteful metalcore release from a group that sees improvement with every release. Children of Fire manages to be one of the top tier release in the genre with powerful vocals, abrasive and crisp instrumentation, and strong lyricism.

This is one of the best metalcore albums I've heard. Since about 2009 anyway. Every single song is different form each other and all have awesome moments and lyrics. The whole concept is chilling and the songs Hush Yael and Dealers of Fame both describe these horrible incidents that would make anyone with any regard for life disgusted at the scum of the world. It is really a very emotional album and Shane and Micah convey it very well. A truly superb album.

Really enjoyable album, love the apocalyptic feel. Hush Yael is a ridiculously good song!

The metal sections on this can be fucking outstanding at times, but there's still too many cliches too give this a higher rating. The cleans can be pretty gay too, but at least their a bit more tasteful then they usually are in this style of metalcore. It's mostly hit and miss, but when it hits, its really really enjoyable. It's nothing new though. But still worth your time.

Really memorable songs. I feel like once you get to Hush Yael its nonstop wonder. I love how they break up the weight of some of the songs with lilting melodies.

First half of the album is much better than the second...still awesome. For once, there are no hardly any truly bad songs, except maybe Dealers of Fame and Children of Fire.

This is really... really good. Metalcore release of the year in my opinion.

This seems like a typical grower to me. Despite of 3-4 tracks, Children of Fire is not really accessible and furthermore not as catchy as expected. A long term listen. For now, it's a good 3.5 for me. Might grow and advance to a finite 4, but as I said - this will most probably need some time and concentration/focus. At the moment it is slightly behind Son of the Morning.

Sounds like their tour with The Chariot has had quite an influence on the new album. Definitely not a bad thing!
