Bury Tomorrow - Earthbound album review

Bury Tomorrow needed to keep the momentum they created with 2014s ‘Runes’ going if they are to boost themselves in the metal community.
A very solid set at Download 2014 left the path open for the guys to move on to better things.


And ‘Earthbound’ has definitely helped solidify the band in the metalcore scene. 


From the roaring opening bars of ‘The Eternal’ through the 10 song album to finale ‘Bloodline’, Daniel Winter-Bates' guttural screaming vocals burn out of the speakers. Supported by James Cameron’s clean vocals and Davyd Winter-Bates driving bass guitar, this album is the complete package. 


The title track is a furious assault on the ears with Adam Jackson pounding the drums into submission. ‘Restless & Cold’ is probably the closest a metalcore band can come to singing a ballad, a much slower paced song which allows the senses to calm after the onslaught Bury Tomorrow have offered so far through the album, quickly picked up again in furiously delivered ‘301’. The guys don't let up as they close the album out with 'Memories' which, if I had to choose, is probably my favourite song from this collection of great tunes.

Any of the songs from this album will seamlessly fit into the bands live set.
The band are 10 years old this year and long may they continue.
