The very concept of a "guilty pleasure" has never made a great deal of sense to me. If you like something, you should be able to like it without fear of reprimand. With that being said, Norma Jean are a band that I've always enjoyed, yet never felt the urge to go out and tell people how much I enjoyed. Any way you look at it, the very idea of being a "Christian metalcore band" is pretty dorky...

Release Date: August 6 2013 If there's one band in hardcore/metalcore that I've always rather enjoyed, it's Norma Jean. They've never been my favorite band, but they've always been a band that I really enjoyed. I've been a fan for around five years or so, since 2008's The Anti Mother dropped, and I enjoyed that record a lot. I haven't listened to them in a couple of years, since last record Meridional. I don't remember too much about it, but it was a great record...

It would be fair to say that there has been a decline in the metalcore genre in recent years. While almost a decade ago you had bands like Underoath and Every Time I Die gaining steam and putting out stellar records, it has recently become harder to find new blood in the genre doing interesting...

It would be fair to say that there has been a decline in the metalcore genre in recent years. While almost a decade ago you had bands like Underoath and Every Time I Die gaining steam and putting out stellar records, it has recently become harder to find new blood in the genre doing interesting things. On top of that, the aforementioned Underoath recently broke up and just last week seminal metalcore act The Chariot also called it quits...

Norma Jean - Wrongdoers
"f you had ever written the band off or traded them in for a younger model, this is the record that will force you to reconsider and repent..."
Posted Friday, 16 August 2013 in ,
Rating: 9Norma Jean broke the doors down a decade ago with 'Bless The Martyr And Kiss The Child', a record that changed lives, genres and entire musical ecosystems. Many years and many members later, 'Wrongdoers' proves that the band can still get abrasive with the best of them...

Tweet Wrongdoers does good! Norma Jean has been through a lot- and each time they encounter an obstacle they prove ever vigilant in prevailing. Regardless of your taste in music, respect the name Norma Jean: it cannot be stopped. Norma Jean brings it forward again with clear songs, strong words, power cords, expert percussion and near flawless delivery...

After hitting a creative high note like 2010's Meridional, you wouldn't expect a band like Norma Jean to struggle with writing a new album while the iron was hot. The process that led to Wrongdoers, the band's sixth album, was fraught with peril, with three members of the quintet leaving during the two-year writing process...

I jumped on the Norma Jean bandwagon a few years ago when they released Meridional, and their sound changed considerably. Many would argue beside me that they improved immensely, adding flow, structure and melodic integrity to their style, though there may have been just as many who jumped off the wagon and ran to The Chariot's for reassurance in their love of chaos...

Razor & Tie Released August 6 2013 Reviewed By Jared Conatser Two entities on almost opposite ends of the spectrum could be thought of when one hears the name "Norma Jean". If you think of Maryln Monroe, as Norma Jean Barker was the actress/model's real name, you're reading the wrong post. If you think of the Christian chaotic metal band, then you are in the right place and have great taste in music...
