Album Review - A Thousand Shades of Cold

A Thousand Shades of Cold are a very modern-sounding band that can be played alongside the likes of Breaking Benjamin, or Cold.  Some songs would do well in a playlist alongside of Strikken, but don't be fooled, they're much softer than Strikken.  Check out the player below to hear a sample of their music:

Album Review: We, Who Overcome-Memoirs

The First Annual Contest Week At MelodyHunt.com

This week I am reviewing an up and coming metal band that will amaze you. We, Who Overcome redefines the term "fan loyalty" and will leave you wanting more with every time you listen to their music. Their first EP, Memoirs is a short one but it's a window to the greatness that this band has in store for them in the future. With heavy metal rifts, catchy drums, a deep scream, great vocals, and lyrics that were inspired by the fans themselves, We, Who Overcome has everything you can want out of a good metal band in this day and age. In comparison I would put their sound along greats such as Five Finger Death Punch and Killswitch Engage.

Of the songs on the EP my favorite falls to When The Mirror Reflects No More. I love the way it opens up soft yet you know there is something amazing in store in the future. It makes you wait in anticipation and you get excited for the curtain to drop and the band to unleash fury. The same feeling comes along with Rough Seas Make Better Sailors. This one opens up with a melodic slow entrance that reminds me of how Metallica used to start their songs.

I could go on and on about the greatness that this band has, but I want you to check it out for yourselves. Memoirs will be up on iTunes by the end of the week, but until then I have a copy to give away for free. All you have to do is head over to facebook with the link below, like our page, and comment on the post there to enter. One lucky follower will win a free copy of We, Who Overcome-Memoirs. The winner will be announced on Friday. Be sure to keep checking iTunes for the EP to drop to support We, Who Overcome and their hard work and dedication. As soon as it is up I will be posting a link to purchase the full album. Good luck to the contest entrees.

Album Review: The Icarus Account-Sunshine And Rain

(Insert catchy phrase here)...MelodyHunt.com

Lately acoustic has felt right, so I'm going to continue with that theme for now. This weeks artist has been around for a while now, but doesn't get quite the recognition that they deserve. The Icarus Account is a pretty simple acoustic band hailing from Fort Meyers, Florida. Their latest album Sunshine And Rain is a short one, with only four songs on it, but they are all sweet songs that tell a story. Give them a listen below.

Of the songs on the album my favorite falls to ironically, Favorite Girl. This song tells of the love he has for that special someone in his life. It reminds me of my special someone and songs like that really speak to me. Its part of the reason that I liked The Icarus Account in the first place. Since the band is only a duo (two members) there isn't much going on other than two guitars and a lead vocalist, but each does the job well.

Yellow Shirt is another song that is both peaceful and simple. Yet it again tells you a story in the lyrics, and that is a good quality that not many bands these days have. Come Back Home is more of a sad song that makes you feel bad for whatever he did wrong with this girl.

In hindsight, The Icarus Account is a great acoustic band that everyone should have on shuffle in their iPods or whatever basic mp3 player you have. So support them below by purchasing Sunshine And Rain, and check out some of their other albums as well. I'll end with a question, what genre of music should I review next week? Comment below to let me know.
