Kingston Falls
Armada On Mercury
Kingston Fall’s album Armada On Mercury opens with a symphony fading into a battle march drum procession entitled “The Christening.” The intro track presets the album into a state of pride and duty, but most of all: hope. Vocalist Nate Lambright sings, “It keeps us living,” on the inspirational song “The Contentment,” while making apparent the album’s overall concept – intentionally or not. Made up of all the right hardcore and metal elements (double-bass drum pedal, shredding leads, growling and gang vocals), the songs still can’t be easily written off or categorized within either genre. What makes them stand apart and soar is their uncanny, uplifting cantor and pure hard rock drive. [Facedown] Dan Frazier
