Freshly signed to Luxor Records, the metalcore quintet has ║ ║ had a seemingly turbulent past few years, but shows no signs of ║ ║ letting up. ôThe Draftö opens with the track, ôRent Past Dueö, which ║ ║ lulls the listener in with a sort of eerie ambiance created by a ║ ║ single, echoing and droning voice that, with the addition of the ║ ║ pleasantly unique vocals of Trevor Pool, gradually builds into a ║ ║ heavy kick that sets the pace for the rest of the run. ║ ║ ║ ║ ôThe Draftö, is noticeably darker in musical and lyrical tones than ║ ║ My Heart to FearÆs previous efforts, which all the more heightens ║ ║ the sense of urgency that the release conveys. The next couple of ║ ║ songs, however, springboard off of the slower first track, to more ║ ║ upbeat and at times, blistering tempos, before winding back down to ║ ║ a more deliberate, heavy-hitting beat for the final moments of ôThe ║ ║ Draftö. It is an incredibly satisfying, and unquestionably brutal ║ ║ procession. ║ ║ ║ ║ Intensely technical riffs and interesting, if not off-putting, clean ║ ║ choruses carry the listener throughout the EP, along with the ║ ║ unapologetic and charged lyrics that Trevor delivers. Guitarists ║ ║ Dale Upright and Dan Pugh seamlessly transition from the ║ ║ aforementioned riffs, to punishing breakdowns, and back to soaring ║ ║ melodies with ease; showcasing the bandÆs maturity and development ║ ║ since their previous albums. Luke Brady also provides air-tight ║ ║ rhythms and beats on the drums, complemented by the solid work on ║ ║ the bass by Taylor Pool. With their individual elements ║ ║ synchronizing so well, My Heart to Fear has capably shown a ║ ║ refinement of their craft and their sound that will keep the ║ ║ listener coming back for more. ║ ║ ║ ║ Although ôThe Draftö definitely keeps the bandÆs reputation of ║ ║ incredible technicality going, it is a deviation, if you will, from ║ ║ their previous effort, ôAlgorithmö. Where ôAlgorithmö boasted ║ ║ several cross-genre moments, ôThe Draftö does not venture far into ║ ║ ôprogressiveö territory, but rather focuses on a more ║ ║ metalcore-driven sound. This does not hamper ôThe Draftö in terms of ║ ║ quality, however, yet those who are expecting a sound more similar ║ ║ to ôAlgorithmö should take note of this. ║ ║ ║ ║ If there is anything about this release I personally do not like, ║ ║ itÆs the EPÆs brevity. Not even clocking in at fifteen minutes, this ║ ║ fantastic release feels ôshort, but sweetö, and I definitely want ║ ║ more after about three or four play-throughs. For those of you who ║ ║ dig the technical metalcore sound and top-notch quality of bands ║ ║ such as Texas in July and August Burns Red, ôThe Draftö is a ║ ║ definite must-listen, and My Heart to Fear is undoubtedly an act to ║ ║ keep an eye on. ║ ║ ║ ╠═══════════════════════════════[TRACK.LiST]══════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ 01 Rent Past Due 3:50 ║ ║ 02 The Draft 3:21 ║ ║ 03 If It's Aliens It's Not 2:38 ║ ║ 04 You've Been Distant Lately 3:40 ║ ║ 05 Years Gone By 2:01 ║ ║ ║ ║ TOTAL SiZE.: 5 Files/31.55MB/15:30 min ║ ║ ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════[⌐2017]═════════════════════════════════╝
