Comments on: ALETHEIAN SUFFER FROM A.D.D. WITH DYING VINE http://www.metalsucks.net/2008/05/13/aletheian-suffer-from-add-with-dying-vine/ IS FOR LOVERS Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lando Calrissian http://www.metalsucks.net/2008/05/13/aletheian-suffer-from-add-with-dying-vine/#comment-71512 Lando Calrissian Wed, 14 May 2008 14:09:02 +0000 http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=5400#comment-71512 I'm sick of all this "nothing new" bullshit. What drives me crazy about metal nowadays is that there's rarely a decent metal band that doesn't scream. I've been a metal fan for the past 5 or so years, and now, screaming is as boring as hell to me. There's just too much of it in the metal business. A little fucking diversity, please. Don't get me wrong, there will always be gods like At The Gates and Children of Bodom that NEED that blood-curdling scream with their heavy-as-fuck riffs, but maybe newer metal bands should try something a little different. There's more to metal than almost-incomprehensible vocals. I’m sick of all this “nothing new” bullshit.

I still think their effort seems "forced". The drummer is content to ride along with the music and never gets as technical as the guitar. The singer does the same, rarely showing any real passion for what he is singing; it's like a metal poetry reading. The guitar riffs are cool, but nothing new. It deserves the 2 horns.

I grew up where Aletheian are from and got into them when they were still known as Crutch. Their "...hope prevails" CD is fucking insane, IMO far beyond anything they've released under the name Aletheian. That said, I still find their later work killer. Apolutrosis was better than Dying Vine, at least the older (poorly mixed) version of DV I've heard. Paragraph breaks are your friend.
