For those of you who haven't heard (and that's probably a lot of you as this band is still unsigned), Feed Her to the Sharks is a 5 piece Metalcore band from Melbourne, Australia. They formed in 2008 and consist of Andrew (Vocals), Chewy (Guitar), Jono (Guitar), Aldy (Bass & Vocals), and Christian (Drums). As I mentioned before, they are Unsigned and this is their first album.The Beauty of Falling is Feed Her to the Sharks' first album (no EPs, Demos or Singles that I can find of them). The album consists of 12 tracks which include "Extinction/Resurrection", "Dead by Dawn", "Fear of Failure", "With the Change of Seasons", "Misery", "Murder Monogamy", "Digital Breakdown", "Neptune Does Not Have a Trident", "My Bleeding Heart Swims in a Sea of Darkness", "Outta My Way Satan... GARD!", "Tragedy, Tears and Sorrow", and "The Beauty of Falling". To be honest, this album is probably one of the best Metalcore albums that I've heard in quite a long time. The guitar riffs are intense, the drums are blasting, the bass line is fluid, the screams are to perfection, and the clean vocals are just plain sweet (some actually sound like they're auto-tuned). The album starts with a massive snare fill before everyone else kicks in and it works excelently. There's even a slow paced interlude of sorts which oddly fits (like I've said in previous reviews, been seeing instrumentals as a trend in Metalcore nowadays). This album just kicked ass, and it's a pity that they haven't been signed to a label yet, because this is so much better than some other bands on label's material. I cannot find anything wrong with the album at all, it just works.
Overall, the album kicked ass. Check them out if you're into The Black Dahlia Murder, Killswitch Engage, early Avenged Sevenfold, Whitechapel, or August Burns Red. The album was released March 16, 2010 (think this is the quickest I've reviewed a new album), I currently can't find it on Amazon or iTunes, but according to their Myspace page, the album will be on there for free listening within the next few days.
Overall Rating: 5.0 out of 5.0
