Who:  To Speak Of Wolves

Song: Rearview Memories

Hardcore with a street-poet soul

Originating from Greensboro, North Carolina, members from other established bands came together to form To Speak Of Wolves. On the surface, this 11-track album comes off as a run of the mill Christian metal album, with screaming vocals and guitar riffs galore. Once you get past that initial layer, there is a raw and genuine feeling that comes across on this disc. An example of this is track two, “Rearview Memories.” This song opens with a girl praying to God about saying goodbye to a loved one who has passed away. Later in this track, there is a boy who is praying a similar prayer. It is deep, unsettling, and incredibly moving. Whether you are religious or not this garners a listen to those who have tried to find meaning in this life we lead. -Randall

Who: The Letter Black
Song: Better Luck Next Time

Two years ago, The Letter Black unleashed their guitar-crunching sensibilities in the form of Hanging On By A Thread. Though it went on to be one of the best-selling debuts in Tooth & Nail Records’ history, their hard rock offering wasn’t loved by critics that much, But their remix record is one that truly seems to be a pleasant surprise. Although a full-length remix record is an interesting entry in the band’s catalog, both listeners who have yet to be won over and hardcore fans alike are hungry for a record of all-new material, nevertheless it has some truly remarkable moments Check it out. -JFH
