![]() So much so that a few fans I know didn’t even believe it was the same guy. The vocalist, Stephen Keech, has a low guttural growl of a scream that immediately stands out and from what I’ve heard he’s much improved. Those are good building blocks to start with and depending on what you look for in an album you may already be intrigued. The songs on this album can be summed up with a few words: ‘epic’, ‘anthemic’, ‘uplifting’, and of course, ‘brutal’. Obviously my lack of knowledge of this band’s back catalogue and how they’ve changed (though I am aware of the vocalist change prior to Pressure the Hinges) makes my perspective a bit different from older Haste the Day fans, but I do know what I consider to be key parts to make a great album and Dreamer has all of those things. Yet here I was taking a chance on a new album thanks to the good word of mouth I’d heard from a few friends heavily into this sort of metalcore music. ![]() I really wasn’t expecting much since I didn’t own any of their earlier work, mainly because it didn’t strike me as unique enough to stand out. That moment came for me with Dreamer from Haste the Day. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every now and then an album comes along that is so surprisingly addictive you just don’t know what to do. ![]()
