War Of Ages
Pride of the Wicked
War of Ages is back, and better than ever, with their sophomore album, their debut on Facedown Records, entitled Pride of The Wicked. True to form, War of Ages brings it hard and heavy with many guitar solos and breakdowns, definitely showing off their metal influences, while still managing to add gang vocals and spoken word, which mix very smoothly (all) adding to the hardcore sound. Needless to say, this release is more ambitious than their last, with a more pristine sound, a lot like Still Remains, just not as melodic. To top it all off, these guys in War of Ages wear their beliefs on their sleeves and are not afraid to sing about them, spewing lyrics that show that they know what they stand for. I love to see that in a band, and rumor has it that I am a sucker for gang vocals.

The guitar leads on this album are outstanding. Often, the guitarist will supply the melody line in place of a clean vocal. The riffing is also really good on the album with plenty of melody there as well. Pride of the Wicked reminds me of Terminate Damnation by Becomming the Archetype but with hardcore breakdowns and minus the prog bits.

this cd is not that great, their self titled cd was way better, this cd is too typical, and you know whats going to happen next. and also they stole a riff from an as i lay dying song. and made it theirs.
