Our Take
Our Take
WAGE WAR's latest offering, "Stigma," on yellow vinyl, is a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of modern metalcore. The band's relentless energy and heavy riffs will have you headbanging in no time, but the real magic lies in the introspective lyrics and emotional depth hidden beneath the surface.
From the blistering opener "The River" to the haunting ballad "Will We Ever Learn," WAGE WAR proves they are not afraid to push boundaries and experiment with their sound. The yellow vinyl adds a touch of vibrancy to the already intense tracks, making for a visually pleasing listening experience.
Lead vocalist Briton Bond's raw and powerful delivery is a highlight throughout the album, while the impressive guitar work from Cody Quistad and Seth Blake keeps the energy levels high. The tight production and mix showcase the band's growth and maturity since their debut, cementing their status as one of the heavyweights in the genre.
While some may find the album's themes of self-doubt and internal struggle a bit on the nose, there's no denying the passion and authenticity behind each track. WAGE WAR may wear their hearts on their sleeves, but it's this vulnerability that makes "Stigma" such a compelling listen.
Overall, "Stigma" on yellow vinyl is a must-have for any metalcore fan looking for a mix of aggression and introspection. WAGE WAR continues to impress with their latest release, solidifying their place in the pantheon of modern heavy music.
