Landscapes – Life.Gone.Wrong

Following up the “Reminiscence”  EP, these UK natives are back at it with their first full-length. Striking just the right balance between melody, atmosphere and aggression is not easy but these guys make it seem easy on “Life.Gone.Wrong”.

Tapping from the same vein as Verse, Defeater and La Dispute among others, Landscapes effortlessly weave together swirling guitar lines, a hard-hitting rhythm section and a rather desperate sounding vocalist with a bleak outlook on life. It all adds up to an album that builds up tension in the nicest of ways before letting it all go in one big cathartic climax.
Score: 8 out of 10
