Everyone and their dog knows that Victory Records has been known for a while to release some of the most generic and boring albums in the past three or four years, Endwell comes to mind as a silverstein copycat, their seemed to be no hope for victory records to regain what they once had with Earth Crisis and between the buried and me. Then out of no where comes Emmure,with their debut Album "Say Goodbye to the Gallows" which victory records is stupidly proclaiming their debut album as the "the heaviest Album of 2007" not hardly, but its pretty damn heavy. Emmure is a band that play melodic metalcore, they sound almost like The Acacia Strain, only The Acacia Strain never added the melodic part to their band. they play the typical chug-chug riff''s and have a insane amount of breakdowns in almost all of their songs (except the 2:00 atmospheric "travis bickle") you may wonder why its a good album. While the music is not really different then youd hear from Misery Signals or The Acacia Strain, what really got me to like this band was the vocalist, he does the typical hardcore growling but then lets out some pretty damn good shrieks that almost give a death metal feel to the Album, his vocals fit perfectly for the music. "10 Siigns you should leave" is one of my favorite tracks on the album, it starts out with a pretty intense breakdown in the guitar and some pretty simple drumwork, then the vocals come in. "you know its all a game, that we play back and forth. I Leave, you chase and its back to square one!" lyrics arent the most impressive, typical relationship problems. but overall in my opinion this is a solid debut from Emmure and maybe victory records is finally getting the point that people dont really like their mainstream garbage theyve been putting out Recently.Into the Moat The Design
