When I think of Brighton, I think of a seaside town in the UK plagued by near constant rain. Now I’ll have to add the band Brides to my – admittedly – limited knowledge of the town.These dudes rip it up on their Visible Noise debut with their brand of post-hardcore that has as much to do with Hot Water Music (the gruff and gritty vocals of one of the band’s vocalists) as it does with early A Wilhelm Scream (the technicality and aggression).
The dual vocal attack between Max and Tristan works well even though some of the transitions feel kind of awkward. But other than that I have no real qualms with this album. It’s a high-energy affair that rings out at just under half an hour and by combining elements from all over the heavy music spectre, they definitely do not repeat themselves on “Ocular.Unveil”.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
