In My Coma: Magnets & Miracles

I recently won the new In My Coma album Magnets & Miracles from the band's Facebook page. In the past week I've listened to the album repeatedly. It's incredible and powerful. I love the electronic influences throughout the album, they add something extra to the overall sound. The vocals are smooth and really beautiful for a rock band. Songs like Losing Sleep and Lost show the bands softer side while heavier songs like Friendly Fire show their rock side. Overall it is a very well put together album and I can't stop listening to it. You'll be sure to love In My Coma if you like Skillet, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace.

In My Coma-Losing Sleep

A few old favorites...

Believe it or not I haven't always liked post-hardcore and metalcore bands. I had no idea what those genres even were. I was raised on the music given to me by my father and my older sister. They introduced me to bands like Bullet for My Valentine, Disturbed, Evanescence, Atreyu, Mushroomhead and the list goes on. So I figured I would share with you what started it all and to remind you that there's more to music than skinny jeans and screamo fan girls.

Disturbed-Down With The Sickness

Atreyu-Becoming The Bull

Slipknot-Duality

Mushroomhead-Solitaire Unraveling

Flyleaf New Horizons

I've heard mixed reviews of Flyleaf's newest album New Horizons. First of all Lacey Mosley is no longer the lead singer for a number of reasons. She's married, she recently had a baby, and a close friend died. Lacey left on a good note, welcoming their new singer Kristen May and said farewell to her fans. Many critics are saying that Flyleaf has lost their touch and that they have nothing new to show. When they released the single New Horizons I had all I could do to stop listening. Sure it's different than I'm So Sick but you can only growl into a mic so many times. So this is my opinion of New Horizons. The sound is new but in a good way! They have new and different material that shows they're capable of more than screaming and singing about God. It's fresh with songs like New Horizons but they kept their heavier sound with songs like Call You Out. I love the album because it was a great way to leave off, Lacey is leaving and she has clearly just made her best and last mark on the music world. But the band is more than just Lacey Mosley. There is more to it then just her. Kristen May has big shoes to fill but I think she can handle it. Flyleaf would never steer us wrong. So I recommend New Horizons to every Flyleaf fan out there and every rock, metal, and Christian rock lovers.
Remember to BUY the music! Bands need money too :)
But here's a preview!

Call You Out

RIP Mitch

He was a talented and overall amazing man and he will be missed by the music community. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends.
