🎸 Album Review:
Australian metalcore band In Hearts Wake has returned with their fifth studio album, ‘Incarnation,’ a powerful and thought-provoking record that showcases their evolution as musicians and activists. With a tracklist that delves deep into themes of environmentalism, spirituality, and societal issues, ‘Incarnation’ is a complex and rich offering that demands attention from start to finish.
The album kicks off with “Spitting Nails (ǝunʇɹoɟ ɟo lǝǝɥʍ),” a blistering track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. With its crushing riffs, relentless drumming, and impassioned vocals, the song grabs the listener by the throat and refuses to let go. It’s a perfect introduction to the intense and unrelenting sound that permeates ‘Incarnation.’
One of the standout tracks on the album is “Hollow Bone (plɹoʍ ǝɥʇ),” a haunting and atmospheric piece that showcases the band’s ability to create dynamic and emotive music. The juxtaposition of clean vocals with guttural screams adds depth and complexity to the track, creating a sense of unease and tension that is both exhilarating and unsettling.
Another highlight is “The Flood (ǝɔᴉʇsnɾ),” a fierce and unapologetic anthem that addresses the urgent need for environmental action. The track’s urgent pace and ferocious energy mirror the urgency of its message, making it a standout moment on the album.
In contrast, “Michigama (uɐᴉɔᴉƃɐɯ ǝɥʇ)” offers a more introspective and contemplative moment on ‘Incarnation.’ The ethereal melodies and soaring vocals create a sense of introspection and introspection, inviting the listener to reflect on their own place in the world and the impact of their actions.
Throughout ‘Incarnation,’ In Hearts Wake expertly blend elements of metalcore, post-hardcore, and melodic metal to create a sound that is both aggressive and melodic. The band’s musicianship is top-notch, with tight riffs, thunderous drumming, and dynamic vocals that command attention and demand respect.
In comparison to their previous albums, ‘Incarnation’ represents a bold step forward for In Hearts Wake. While their earlier work focused primarily on personal struggles and introspection, ‘Incarnation’ sees the band tackling larger societal and environmental issues with a newfound sense of urgency and purpose. The result is an album that is not only musically impressive but also socially and politically relevant.
Overall, ‘Incarnation’ is a powerful and compelling album that solidifies In Hearts Wake’s status as one of the most important bands in the metalcore scene. With its potent blend of aggression, melody, and meaningful lyrics, the album is a call to arms for listeners to stand up, speak out, and make a difference in the world. In a genre often criticized for its lack of substance, ‘Incarnation’ is a breath of fresh air, offering a much-needed dose of intelligence and integrity.
In conclusion, ‘Incarnation’ is a triumph for In Hearts Wake, showcasing their growth and maturity as musicians and activists. With its powerful sound, thought-provoking themes, and impressive musicianship, the album is a must-listen for fans of metalcore and anyone who appreciates music with a message. ‘Incarnation’ is not just an album – it’s a manifesto, a battle cry, and a call to action.
