Get Faded and Listen to The Fading

I was pretty baked last night when I sat down to check out “Chasing Time,” the new lyric video from Israel’s The Fading… and I really liked the song. So I made a note to check it out again today without any herbal enhancements — the ultimate test of whether or not something is actually any good — and, lo and behold!, I still think it’s a cool song! Victory!!!

So what does the band actually sound like? Well, clearly, they’re cribbing from super-catchy European melodeath*: they’d be a good fit for a tour with Omnium Gatherum, Hypocrisy, or Sylosis. And having now listened to a good portion of their 2015 album, Till Life Do Us Part (on which “Chasing Time” appears), I can tell you that “Chasing Time” ain’t a fluke — this band writes hooks so sharp they’ll get caught in your cheek.

Get faded and check out The Fading’s “Chasing Time” lyric video below. If you dig it, you can stream Till Life Do Us Part at the bottom of this post.

*First idiot to assert that Israel is in Europe gets a kick in the teeth.
