Before Today - A celebration of an ending

Equal Vision Records . release date: 11-15-04 . written by Oliver

Before TodayBefore Today is a young band from San Diego, wich spreads it talent now on Equal Vision records. They differ from many other aggressive melodic bands, because they have so many relaxed and smooth parts in their music, which they create with synthezisers. I am very stocked about the record. I like those synthezisers, compared with back-up-vocals and these detuned guitars. I focussed on the Outro, which reminds me to come Easy-listening stuff with great basslines and powerful drums. This song would fit more then perfectly into a surf video. Really well, but I think you are more interested about the singer: He combines powerful and aggressive screaming with amazing, refreshing melodies. The whole music is really energetic and it shows a lot of technical skills. You find midtempo and some really fast tunes. It sounds as if Rufio got crossed with Audiokarate, mixed up with some metal and emo, like Glasseater does, plus some intensive screaming. I think kids will love the new - and young - kings on Equal Visions records.
