The Color Morale - Hold On Pain EndsRelease Date: September 2nd, 2014
Record Label: Fearless RecordsIn the last couple years, a lot of bands have been preaching a message of "hope". And while I think that it's great that bands are reaching out to their fans and are often genuine, I think there's definitely more than a few in the crowd that make it come off as a gimmick...

All Reviews The Color Morale - Hold On Pain Ends September 19, 2014 by Brian Kraus Released:September 02, 2014 - Fearless AP Rating: There will always be casualties when musicians want to change but fans want them to stay the same. That doesn't stop the Color Morale from adding plenty of pop choruses to their post-hardcore palate on Hold On Pain Ends, while keeping their metalcore tendencies, too. TCM's stretch marks are seen when "Outer Demons" stumbles in with mush-mouthed vocals...

Release Date: March 25, 2013 Quite often there are bands that do everything right, but never reach the level of success that it seems they deserve. They write great songs, they play shows with big bands with which they share similar fan bases, they treat their fans great, and they show some amount of longevity. The Color Morale, from Rockford, Illinois, is that band...

Release Date: March 22, 2013 There are SO many bands that I (somehow) fell in love with during the high school years, only because I felt like hell about everyone and everything that existed on the face of this planet. Bring Me the Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, Underoath...all I ever felt was masked behind their noise. But Salt the Wound? Suicide Silence? My parents would've KILLED me...

Release Date: March 26th 2013 I'm almost 20-years-old, and in all honesty, I've stopped keeping up with post-hardcore, metalcore, or "scenecore" as some people call it. No, this review on IL post-hardcore/metalcore outfit The Color Morale's third record Know Hope will not be a negative one, but I will say that I don't quite care for the genre anymore. Do I want to say I've outgrown it? Yes, and no...

3/5 Metalcore sextet The Color Morale never strays too far from the tried-and-true tropes of their subgenre on full-length No. 3, but still manages to craft tunes that are passionate and memorable, mixing breakdown-fuelled mosh, noisy dissonance, and catchy choruses on wide-ranging tracks like "Learned Behavior." Frontman Garrett Rapp's vocals run the gamut from hardcore bellows to soulful crooning, the latter reminiscent of Jonny Craig (Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, et al)...

Sound: The Color Morale...I've had mixed feelings about this band for ages now. While they never brought anything truly new to the Metalcore scene, they did show promising musical chops and manage to put on a killer live show. However, their new album, My Demon In Your Eyes, is a deal breaker for me. The album is quite literally a re-hash of every metalcore album released in the past year (or three), offering almost nothing original. Are there screamed vocals? Yes. Breakdowns? Too many...
