I may be the only fan of the band on HH, but this release should find new fans from the boys on this board.

 

The band has done a total 180 from their old screamo days to the new Melodic Metal sound. The vocals are awesome and no more screams at all. This one will be one of my favorite releases of 2015.

Those are the three first singles.

 

 

October 2nd 2015 will go down as one of my favorite music release days ever. The new Queensryche and Entwine also came out the same day,

This is my favorite release of 2015....so far.

 

It is awesome on all accounts. The vocals are amazing compared by many as trying to sound like Ronnie James Dio. Reminds me of Allen/Lande just not as power metal with some more modern touches. Those that loved the Taken Dawn from a few years back will love this new Trivium.

Sounds pretty good, mate. I'll check it out on Tuesday. I've never minded these guys, but also never really loved them either... but it's good to hear they've tossed aside the screams. If you stick with any modern rock band who is around for a while, you're basically guaranteed they will release at least one great album in their career. I hope this is theirs. They all seem to cave in for at least one "commercial" album. Bring Me the Horizon's new CD is also very good from this year.

... But I'm not sure it is. On first spin, it seemed split right down the middle. Half the songs were pretty damn good, but I already skipped (on first spin!!) the other half. A few songs I thought were pretty good were 'The ghost that's haunting you,' 'Until the world goes cold,' 'Rise above the tides' and 'The thing that's killing me.' Didn't really like any of the first 4 songs, and 'Pull me into the void' was shit... but yeah, a few good songs. Not sure this will make any impact in my 2015, though, sorry mate.

 

My main criticism was that this reminded me a lot of Black Veil Brides, and that is not a compliment. Vocals sounded void of any passion or interest, and it just wasn't really setting my ears alight. Great musicianship again, though, which was nice.

For the record, these guys released a new album, 'The Sin And The Sentence.' Once again, it's pretty good. Reminds me of Killswitch Engage for a lot of it. Lots of pretty good songs, but it never really takes it to the next level. Solid hard rock/metal.

    • New album 'Universal Human Desire' out March 31. From Lions Pride Music: Outlasted is a professional rock band hailing from Norway, known for their captivating blend of AOR (Album-Oriented Rock) sound. Formed in 2010 by guitarist Terje Fløyli and keyboard player Odd-Børge Hansen, the band's unique journey began with the exchange of song ideas through traditional mail, rather than the ubiquitous digital communication we now know as email. Despite residing in different cities, Fløyli and Hansen forged a deep musical connection, fostering their shared passion for AOR by burning CDs and sending files back and forth. Gradually, their collaborative efforts materialized into a collection of songs that formed the foundation of their debut album, "Into the Night," which was released in 2016 through Melodic Rock Records. To bring their vision to life, Outlasted enlisted the talents of drummer Rune Bryn and bassist Rickard Johannesson, who contributed to the recording of the album's bed tracks. However, the band's lineup experienced changes, leading to the recruitment of vocalist Glenn Wikran, drummer Rune Erling Pedersen, and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. The release of "Into the Night" garnered international acclaim, captivating listeners worldwide and receiving high praise from critics. Notably, the music video for their hit single, "Someone Like You," quickly gained viral popularity, spreading like wildfire across the internet. In 2019, Outlasted unveiled their highly anticipated sophomore album, "Waiting for Daybreak." The CD edition, limited to 500 copies, sold out within a mere three months, attesting to the band's growing fanbase. Tragically, shortly after the album's release, their record label underwent a change in ownership. Consequently, the physical copies of "Waiting for Daybreak" became coveted collectors' items. However, the band remained undeterred, navigating these challenges with resilience. Prior to commencing the recording of "Waiting for Daybreak," Outlasted underwent another lineup transformation, bidding farewell to drummer Rune Erling Pedersen and bassist Aleksander Schjølberg. Their vacant spots were filled by drummer Andreas Jentoft and bassist Lasse Ingebrigtsen, both of whom contributed their exceptional skills to the band's subsequent music videos, "Chains of Destiny" and "After All These Years." In 2023, Outlasted inked a significant record deal with Lions Pride Music, solidifying their global reach. Currently, the band is diligently crafting their third studio album, poised for release on March 31, 2025. With their unwavering dedication and unwritten chapters awaiting, Outlasted is set to captivate audiences once again with their irresistible AOR sound, leaving an indelible mark on the rock music landscape. Outlasted is: Glenn Wikran – Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals & Guitars Terje Fløyli – Guitars Odd-Børge Hansen – Keyboards & Backing Vocals Lasse Ingebrigtsen – Bass Andreas Jentoft – Drums 01. Weight Of The World 02. Save Your Love 03. Tonight 04. Lost Without You 05. Afraid Of Love 06. Monkey On My Back 07. We Are One 08. Last Of The Runaways 09. Think Of You 10. Last Time She Cried 11. Fallin’ For You 12. Coming Home      
    • Love a bit of Kim. She's done some real quality albums over the years, especially her first 5 or so albums. 'Here Come The Aliens' from 2018 was a real return to form and the 2 latest singles promise a lot for the new album too. 
    • Nothing has really stuck with this tbh, so a  solid album without blowing me away.
    • Great album..one of the better MR discs this year
    • A good album and their best in quite a while. 'Don't Wanna Say Goodbye' and 'State Of Emergency' are my picks. 
    • It's ok, although a little weak on the original songs if  i'm honest. Of the  6 New England covers, whilst quite well done, they don't improve or add anything compared to the fantastic original versions, although  'I'm Not Down', which was meant for the unreleased 4th New England album, is the clear winner on this set.  Not an album that will get played very often, but not a bad effort.
    • Yep...musically very sound, but a little bit too 'preachy' for me.
