Cue to Eclipse is another band from the UK that rocks socks. The band is a five piece ensemble, featuring vocalist Dan, Dave on bass, Luke D on drums, and Johnny and Luke B playing guitar. Knowing their names without first hearing there music may seem pointless, but if you take my advice you'll check them out, and then you'll be glad I told you their names. So your freakin welcome.
The band sounds like the Incubus of Metal. Their music has all the energy and the quick guitar riffs of Metal or Hardcore, but it's more artistically aggresive than is common of both genres. "Astral Planning" has an especially astounding sound. In this song, which is the first track on their most recent E.P., "Chapter II", Eclipse alternates between soft waves of guitar and a crushing metal sound. The song is bad ass not just because it would make a great sound track additon, but because it also displays the bands ability to go from hard to soft and then smash the two together.
Front man and vocalist Dan causes some serious mayhem with his microphone. He sings and screams, and he does both well. All the vocal credit can't be given to him though. On occasion other members of the band will pipe in two. Fortunately unlike many other amateur bands when they do, it doesn't cause you to want to rip your ears off and bury them in a glacier. It actually sounds good.
I don't know where to get there album from, but for any fans of rockin' stuffs this is a worthy buy. You might think "well there are plenty of bands with record deals who make music as good or better". If that thought ran through you're head then you shouldn't be reading this blog in the first place. Musec Review is all about introducing audiences to unsigned bands, and putting a fraction of the power with musicians, instead of record labels. Just joking about you not reading the blog though, maybe we can change your mind. Plus we like our readers.
Anyway Cue to Eclipse gets a 5.75 out of 10
