Band: Alexisonfire For me personally, the release of Dogs Blood was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Not only because the band already promised it’s release a year earlier, but also because even though you know the sound will be typical Alexisonfire, you never know what small changes will lurk around the corner just to catch you by surprise. Within the first minute into "Dogs Blood", the first song on the album, it’s crystal clear that there’s no stopping this Canadian fright train. And then, in the middle of the song the train actually does slow down, if only for a little moment. That there’s time for some experimenting as well gets proved on "Black As Jet". Without losing their defining sound you get to hear some unconventional, darker tones. All-instrumental closer "Vex" is yet again something out-of-field for the five-piece from Ontario. Refreshing! Smashing guitars, Pettit’s ear-piercing screams and rollin’ drum snares all assembled in this 4-Track EP, leaving all fans of Alexisonfire hungering for more… Magaly. |
