Wolves At The Gate: Subverting Expectations Better Than You Think
They are definitely not what you’d expect from a Christian Metalcore band that mixes cleans and screams. Compared to the other Christian bands in the genre, they go against the grain and do their own thing. Their music has this great hybrid of Post Hardcore and Metalcore, kinda similar to what bands like Underoath and A Day To Remember did.
I can’t stress enough just how great their vocals are. Both the screamer and singer have this great chemistry and play off each other so well. They have that Taking Back Sunday “call and response” technique where both vocalists intertwine throughout their songs. As someone who doesn’t care for much clean vocals in Metalcore these days, their mixing of cleans and screams are honestly one of the best in the genre.
This isn’t a typical chug chug breakdown clean chorus singing rinse wash and repeat type of band. There’s something special and unique about them that I think more people should be exposed to if they’re looking for something in Metalcore/Post Hardcode that they haven’t heard yet.
