Our Take

Art Damage by FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES is a rollercoaster ride of sonic chaos that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. From the moment you hit play, you are bombarded with a cacophony of dissonant guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and anguished vocals that will have you headbanging one minute and contemplating the meaning of life the next.

The album kicks off with the frenetic "Absolute Future" which sets the tone for what's to come - a mind-bending journey through experimental post-hardcore that defies all conventions. Tracks like "Drowning the Old Hag" and "Mouth" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, incorporating elements of punk, metal, and even jazz into their sound.

But what truly sets Art Damage apart is the band's willingness to take risks. Whether it's the haunting spoken word passages on "My (Fucking) Deer Hunter" or the unexpected brass section on "Go Wash Your Mouth... I Don't Know Where It's Been," FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES are constantly challenging the listener to push beyond their comfort zone.

In a music landscape overrun with cookie-cutter bands and formulaic songwriting, Art Damage is a breath of fresh air. It's messy, it's chaotic, and it's utterly brilliant. So, if you're looking for an album that will make you think, make you feel, and ultimately blow your mind, look no further than FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES' Art Damage. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Fear Before the March of Flames

Here we have Fear Before the March of Flames, a band hailing from Aurora, Colorado, that exploded onto the scene in the mid-2000s with their chaotic blend of post-hardcore, math rock, and metalcore. With a name that sounds like a gothic novel title and a sound that is equally dark and frenetic, Fear Before quickly cultivated a dedicated following of fans who were drawn to their intense live performances and unapologetically abrasive music. Lead vocalist David Marion is a force to be reckoned with, delivering guttural screams and raw emotion that cut through the cacophony of guitars and pounding drums. The band's intricate compositions and unpredictable song structures keep listeners on their toes, never quite sure where the music will take them next. Fear Before the March of Flames' lyrics delve into themes of anxiety, paranoia, and existential dread, reflecting the tumultuous inner landscapes of the band members themselves. With tracks like "My (Fucking) Deer Hunter" and "Taking Cassandra to the End of the World Party," Fear Before doesn't shy away from provocative or controversial subject matter. Despite their profound darkness, Fear Before the March of Flames never takes themselves too seriously, incorporating elements of humour and absurdity into their music and performances. Their willingness to experiment and push boundaries has earned them a reputation as trailblazers in the post-hardcore scene, inspiring countless bands to follow in their footsteps. So if you're in the mood for something a bit different, a bit weird, and a bit wonderful, Fear Before the March of Flames is the band for you. Just be prepared to be taken on a wild, unpredictable ride that will leave you breathless and begging for more.
