The Chariot
Wars And Rumors Of Wars
Who could have foreseen that the band once only known as "the new project fronted by the original singer of Norma Jean" would have evolved into one of metalcore’s most reliably ferocious acts? Two albums later, vocalist Josh Scogin returns with Wars And Rumors Of Wars as the only original member, but it’s no secret that the infamously charismatic screamer always ran the show and will never have the heart to quit. By consistently drawing on swift and dense metal songs sprinkled with moments of lull, The Chariot satisfyingly delivers and continues their renowned style. And like whiskey spilt over a campfire, certain tracks hint a sip of Southern rock sludge as if mixed in via osmosis due to their Georgia roots – but perhaps this accent was not unintentional.
