Saosin - Along The Shadow (Epitaph) 2016
7
Are Saosin really fucking back? The answer is a big fucking YES! Along the Shadow, the band’s first record with new material since 2009 and first ever full-length album with the original singer, Anthony Green (Circa Survive) who left the back in 2004 after the release of Translating the Name, the 2003’s debut EP. Along The Shadow is an effort of such chilling intensity, evidencing a taut precision and fully sophisticated dynamics. Green’s voice is stronger and heavier than ever, fitting in perfection in Saosin’s well balanced, ambitious trademark sound, and let’s face it, only few bands are able to bring Sleeping With Sirens’ pop sensibility and Circa Survive’s light into Cave In meets Coalesce atmospheric heavy inspired soundscapes. A good comeback and the expectations were fulfilled.
