A Skylit Drives new album Identity on fire was a much awaited album. Their previous CD Adelphia was also really good however I believe their best album to date was Wires and the Concept of Breathing. However the new album is a very good album. Many people compare them to Alesana (one of my favorite bands.) They have a very similar structure to all of their songs which makes the album a little less desirable, however the songs are very well played and sang and have some cool aspects one of the newer ones for ASD would be the use of a synth. They have some heavy songs and some slower pace songs. Another new aspect that they have added is the use of some chanting. ASD has some very good harmonies especially with the singers voice. The breakdowns are pretty heavy and most choruses are very catchy. All in all the album is a great album, but there are still some things that ASD will hopefully work on.
Now a little about the band, the band was started in 2006 while attending Lodi high school in California. They are a six-piece post-hardcore band. They have three CD's Wires and the Concept of Breathing - 2008, Adelphia- 2009, and Identity on Fire- 2011. They have released on DVD and multiple Music Videos. They are currently on tour with Alesana, Seriana, Sleeping with Sirens, Memphis May Fire, and Atilla on the Motel 6 Rock Yourself To Sleep Tour. The current line up of the band is Michal "JAG" Jagmin- Lead Vocals, Brian White- Bass Guitar, and Screams, Joey Wilson- Lead Guitar, Nick Miller- Rhythm Guitar, Cory La Quay-Drums, percussion, death growls, and Kyle Simmons- Keyboards, and Synthesizers.
