All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals

All That Remains gained a lot of popularity when their song Six was featured in Guitar Hero 2. Sure, Six is a great song but The Fall of Ideals has so much more to offer. Track 1 (This Calling) starts out with a focused scream, and insane drumming. From there, the rhythm guitar work carries you to the chorus with triplets abound. The track's memorable chorus features one of the best double kick rolls I've heard, and intermittent vocal harmonies. The second half features a nice breakdown with crisp, clean pinch harmonics, and then a short guitar solo. But this is just the first track! The rest of the album features a variety of sounds, from death growls to high-pitched screams, and everything in between, including a little grindcore influence. But they never stray too far from the metalcore sound that holds the album together nicely. Try it out.
