If it’s not the sheer length of the album title that will draw your attention, the word ‘führer’ will do the trick. Before There Was Rosalyn is a Christian outfit that plays some pretty potent metalcore with the typical clean/growling dual vocal attack . All pretty standard so far, right?
But with the album being built around the theme of how absolute power can corrupt and destroy, it does lend the album an extra dimension. Especially with the artwork tying in nicely as well.
Both musically and lyrically I’d think that Solid State would’ve been the more logic choice for this Texas-based outfit but Victory has reason to be happy to have this band on their roster. While Before There Was Rosalyn’s album isn’t quite up there yet with Killswitch Engage or August Burns Red’s latest releases, I can see good things coming from these guys in the future.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
