Let them Fall

LET THEM FALL is definitely a positive surprise in 2015. The Italians from the city of Grosseto, release the EP "Of Kings & Heroes" showing us a different brand of Metalcore and raises the level of the genre on its compositions.
Highlight the brutality of the singer, Rita D'aniello that sets the tone of the five tracks on the EP and shows that women are not at all, behind men. She plays very well her role as frontwoman and sings with all her heart and soul in all tracks.
Riffs well arranged and performed by the duo Luigi Marchio and Gabriele Catoni giving weight and melody in measure. It is very clear throughout the hearing of the EP mix of hardcore elements, Deathcore and the influences of bands like BRING ME THE HORIZON e IWRESTLEDABEARONCE. I consider this very positive because it shows that they are not a limited band and they hear what's going on in the world. They managed to escape from the formula already known of Metalcore that is: riff / riff / breakdown / riff / riff and when you least expect it, the riff drops the pace and enters the breakdown.
"Of Kings & Heroes" begins with an ambient sound and is the typical 'calm before the storm'. The drums gives its face and then the extreme heavy riffs with fantastic vocals from Rita D'aniello on "Dreamer". The second track "Storyteller" caught my attention by having the mix of clean / guttural vocals that works very well and sounds great. Also highlight the next track, "Royal", which begins with the sound very low and get's higher and higher - very creative. Last track, but not least, "Shape of Glory" has a chorus at the beginning, and I personally quite like it because I can see how it will probably sound live. This song has an orchestration very soft background at first, very interesting.
It is a very promising band with a lot of energy and straight to the point. Can't wait to hear news from them!
