It's solid advice. And it seems to be advice Wolves At the Gate is taking to heart. The band's debut ep, We Are the One, was an excellent metalcore showing that got the attention of Solid State. With a new lead vocalist in place, I was excited to give Captors a spin.
Wolves At the Gate fill the void in metalcore that Haste the Day left when they disbanded last year. They don't sound like Haste the Day but it's just solid, quality metalcore. No gimmicks, nothing fancy, just quality songs.
The Harvest is a great opening song. It packs a punch and grabs your attention right away. Nick Detty, the band's new lead vocalist, is strong and his screams and Steve Cobucci's clean vocals work eally well together. Awaken and Morning Star both continue to hit hard. But it's tracks like Dead Men, Slaves, and Step Out on The Water that makes Captors such a good record. Great melody with strong hooks that capture's the listeners attention.
Musically and lyrically, Captors is solid. Wolves At the Gate have delivered a great record. Metalcore and heavy music fans shouldn't pass this record up.
