Who says a band needs to disappear for years at a time between albums? Pantera dropped a classic album every other year from 1990 to 1996. The late Chuck Schuldiner unleashed seven classic Death albums in the span of just over ten years. So when a band hits the kind of creative stride, chemistry and metallic momentum WITHIN THE RUINS tapped into with last years breakthrough album theyd be fools to slow down now.
Within The Ruins wasted no time in crafting a new career-defining landmark, Phenomena. The bands new album is the next step forward from Elite, further jettisoning all but the best components of the oft-maligned deathcore genre to reveal a band whose all out assault of heaviness wont be confined by genre. The band shreds with the best of them of course, maintaining a place next to Between The Buried And Me and The Faceless, but the new album is even more about songs than scales.
Phenomena maintains an emphasis on showmanship with ever increasing diversity, smartly sidestepping predictable structures and contrived breakdowns. Within The Ruins are exploring the type of sonic textures and esoteric territory explored by Gojira. In some spots, a more nuanced vocal assault creeps in, with powerful might.
Album kickoff Gods Amongst Men boasts a clearly defined chorus, the first of its kind to truly emerge. Fans of the slower, sludgy groove of Feeding Frenzy are sure to dig The Other. The dissonant guitars and evocative synthesizers of Calling Card would seem out of place in their earlier work, but on Phenomena, its just part of the rich tapestry.
When we released our last album, we felt like we had finally found what we were wanting to do since we started the band, explains cofounder Joe Cocchi, who proved his guitar shredding prowess, alongside his fellow cofounder appropriately nicknamed Drummer, with early rumblings like Omen. All Music likened the eclectic shred of Creatures to Metallicas landmark Master of Puppets, but played twice as fast.
Vocalist Tim Goergen sounds as savage as ever, with a renewed focus on memorability and catchiness to his phrasing. Bassist Andrew Tate is as fluid and tasteful as before, keeping pace with this bandmates while offering his own twists and turns along the way.
Weve been known for technical, faster metal. But its the type of stuff thats tough for someone to listen to if theyre not into a very, very specific subgenre, says Cocchi. The challenge we gave ourselves with Phenomena was to come up with something even better in a shorter amount of time, to really take advantage of the momentum.
Elite established Massachusetts finest as frontrunners in the world of extreme metal, putting the hardworking group on the Billboard 200 and doubling the first week sales of their previous record, Invade (2010). Within The Ruins were once voted onto Summer Slaughter. Now they return, three years later, victorious, joining a 2014 lineup topped by death metal legends Morbid Angel. This is all hot on the heels of a tour with Whitechapel and a triumphant New England Metal and Hardcore Festival homecoming.
Born and bred in the same heavy metal rich Northeast soil as New Wave Of American Heavy Metal progenitors Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, Unearth and Shadows Fall and weaned on the dark sounds of classic death metal, the technical melodicism of Scandinavia and the precision staccato crunch of Meshuggah, Within The Ruins have busted their collective ass to carve out a unique identity for themselves from those ingredients and have succeeded like never before with this years Phenomena.
There continue to be tons of new fans for us to make, declares Cocchi. Theres a ton of people who havent heard of us. One common thing to overcome in this genre is that people move on too quickly. We are still trying to progress and trying to bring something new to the table with every album. I believe that can always be done, even if it doesnt always happen with every band. Hopefully people can see that with us.
The fans wholeheartedly embraced Elite. Considering how much Phenomena takes Within The Ruins music to the next level, theres no limit to how far this band can go.
