A Hope For Home – Realis


Yes, that’s the way to go about it! Bore everyone to death in the first three minutes and then hit them over the head with a bunch of screams and distorted guitars. Emotional catharsis is the word you’re looking for and yes, next to being a big word that is a good thing. But not a good way to start off an album if you ask me.

A Hope For Home apparently didn’t get that memo and it immediately puts a mortgage on the rest of the album that they can’t make the monthly installments for during the rest of the songs. Slowed-down post-hardcore with monotonous as fuck screams and occasional dissonant riffage coupled to atmospheric riffs that bring “Artist In The Ambulance” era Thric to mind. Who’s really waiting for this? You? Fair enough, hope you enjoy “Realis”.
Score: 4 out of 10
