The Art Of Deception are an upstart Metal band from PA who's looking to follow up their stellar "The Art Of Deception" EP with this upcoming five track EP. Let's dive in and see the progression of the band from their previous work. "Obscurities" opens up the EP with a fast some good ol' fashioned chuggery that'll make old Bring Me The Horizon fans salivate. The clean vocals are introduced and set the track on fire. Halfway in there's a absolute earth shattering breakdown that is sure to induce some moshing. The track is a finely tuned five minute long Melodic Metalcore masterpiece and it's only the first track! "Severence" is a track that has a bit of a Parkwark Drive influence on it along with some clean sung vocals. Overall, the track is moshtastic romp while still maintaining a fine balance through its six minute span of being heavy and extremely melodic. "Prophecy" is fast and unapologetic. The track shreds along on a high gear and doesn't let up. The breakdowns on the track are intense as is the clean vocals which only adds even more passion to the track. There's a darkness to the track and that's what helps make it as good as it is. "Everyone's A Critic" features tremendous guitar work along with vicious breakdowns and perfectly timed clean vocals. The cleans don't slow down the track as it barrels full speed ahead on a mission to destroy everything in its path. It's the heaviest track on the EP. "Family Portrait" is the lead single and the closer to the EP. The track leaves listeners yearning for more as it glides along effortlessly leaving devastation in its wake as the breakdowns swirl around the tight production and clean sung vocals. Five songs are not nearly enough! Metal/Metalcore fans will eat these five tracks up without hesitation.
Verdict:
The Art Of Deception have upped the ante and set out to leave their mark on the Metal/Metalcore genre.
