Blessthefall - Awakening

BTF's (Blessthefall) new album is an awesome album. BTF is definatley a great band to listen to. One of my favorite things about BTF is the fact that they don't try and change to please "the masses." BTF stays true to their genre and their sound! The new album focuses the 5-piece on what they are, metalcore, their sound has not changed only gotten better. The album has a great all around sound, between the awesome guitar melodies, to the stellar drum beats, to the very structured songs. The band has used the same producer and is very confident in their sound. Fans of BTF will love the album. Another big aspect of BTF's music is the openly religious aspect. While not considered a "christian" band now, all they members are open about their religion and it shows in some of their songs, I feel it takes a lot in the music industry to do that now a days just another reason i respect the band. All in all this is definitely a album worth your time.

Now a little about the band, the 5-piece is originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Started in 2003, by Mike frisby (guitarist), Matt Traynor (drummer), and Jared Warth (bassist). They are currently on Fearless Records. The original singer was Craig Mabbit (current front man for Escape the Fate.)  Since then they have added Beau Bokan (singer) and Elliot Gruenberg (rhythm guitar, formerly of Before Their Eyes.) The band will be having a tour (that I will hopefully attending) called the Fearless Friends tour. The tour features them and other bands from Fearless records. The Tour is Blessthefall (headlining), The Word Alive, Motionless In White, Chuck! No. Captain Chunk!, and Tonight Alive. The tour will be in Chicago November 22 at the Bottom Lounge.
