It Prevails- S/T



Im not going to lie to you, I don't know much about It Prevails. I do however know that this is their first full-length release off of Rise Records, and I guess first and foremost, is the most honest release i've heard from this label in a long time.
It Prevails blends different styles of melodic hardcore that comes out just right, or at least the way they wanted it to come out im sure.
The album from start to finish is full of stark vocals, heavy riffs, and melodic streams that tend to just float in the background. Sounds of melodic hardcore pioneers Life In Your way are VERY present, but not too over done, as well as neo-Misery Signals-esque vocals saturate this release, maybe a little too much.
There really isn't too much too say about this album outside of the fact that I did enjoy it. The only negative I have for it is that at some points the songs run together just a little bit, but outside/getting around that, this is a good release.

FINAL GRADE: B
