Sound: Massachusetts metalists Unearth has received a very warm welcome for their "The Oncoming Storm" album even before the release date, getting previews as "the best heavy metal record release since Kill 'Em All." It's the band's debut for Metal Blade and the record company obviously worked hard on the promotion. As for the record itself, surprisingly it's not awfully far from the odes in it's honour...

Sound: "Darkness In The Light" is the fifth studio release of Massachusetts metal band Unearth, and quite frankly it could be the best one since 2004's breakthrough album "The Oncoming Storm". With this album we find Unearth getting double the help from Killswitch Engage, with Adam Dutkiewicz once again taking the audio recording reins and also Justin Foley (Killswitch Engage, Blood Has Been Shed) on the drums...

Sound: This possibly the greatest metal band out there. When I first listened to this I was blown away. It's a CD every metalhead should listen too, I found it randomly while listening through my friends stuff. This is some of the fastest music you'll hear, but it doesn't fail where most bands do. // 10 Lyrics and Singing: Most metal bands seem to have a problem with singing/lyrics...

Sound: Unearth have been a rising force in the American metal scene with their fast heavy riffs, dualing guitar harmonies, and brutal break down. The earlier albums helped launch the band to greater heights but their newest release entitled The March, is definately the bands most serious effort to date...

"The law of declining utility can suck on this - the same thing can be just as good the 1,000th time as it was the first, just as long as it is purveyed by the best in the biz." Since I seem to be the last guy on earth that enjoys metalcore and is willing to admit it (I'm not scared of the scene police, are you!?), Metalunderground.com HQ sent via secure wire that I was to review Unearth's newest good cop/bad-cop party, "Darkness in the Light...

While the waves of metalcore bands has finally stop crashing onto the shoreline, it's good to see that the 'better' bands from the mid-00?s metal movement are still alive and strongly kicking. The problem is that the genre isn't the most musically flexible, and while some bands have suffered for not really changing their sound (God Forbid, Shadows Fall), Boston's Unearth have decided to hurl a slight spanner into the proverbial works with their fifth full length "Darkness in the Light"...

Consistency is an under-appreciated quality in the world of heavy metal, and for any band striving for consistency, it becomes harder to maintain as more music is written and more albums are released. From the venerable Massachusetts metal scene, practically every band the region has produced has faltered somewhere along the way, including scene godfathers Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and All That Remains...

Album No. 5 for Massachusetts' Unearth puts them atop the heap of new-generation thrash-metal bands. Now that moshers such as Shadows Fall and God Forbid seemed to have peaked and all but gone away (neither have made a peep since 2009), Unearth are a slightly younger, leaner band ready to lead the charge. Darkness In The Light is a maelstrom of melodic riffs, screamy shouts and enough noodling to keep Guitar Hero nerds happy...

(Metalblade Records) With "Through The Eyes Of Fire" Unearth have stepped up their riffy, breakdown-heavy, assailing metalcore formula into something entirely new and refreshing in a genre that's unfortunately suffering from not being very fresh...
