While She Sleeps New Album Review!

This is it. After almost two years of preparation and months of recording, While She Sleeps debut studio album titled ‘This is the Six’ was finally released on the 6th August 2012, and my goodness the wait was worth it.

For those of you who don’t know who they are let me fill you in. While She Sleeps are a home grown British band coming from the streets of Sheffield/Doncaster (I know…It makes you proud to be British!). They formed in 2006 and throughout 2009/2010 the band toured all over the UK and began working on a mini album names ‘The North Stands For Nothing’. In 2010 they got one step further and appeared at the Sonisphere festival. The band’s popularity rose and they opened for the one of the biggest bands on the British metalcore scene who go by the name of Bring Me The Horizon. Sound familiar? Well they should do. Check out their album ‘There is a hell, believe me I’ve seen it. There is a heaven let’s keep it a secret’ and try to tell me you don’t love it. I dare you. And if that wasn’t enough While She Sleeps then went on to win the award for Best British Newcomer at the Kerrang Awards 2012.

Anyway, getting back to this frankly amazing debut album by the band I can only describe to be the next big thing on the British metalcore scene. Well what can I say? It’s brilliant.
The first song, Dead Behind The Eyes, explodes out of the speakers and into your ears as the vocals of Lawrence Taylor and the heavy riffs tear through the sound barrier. Best way to start anything I’d say; quickly, loudly and unforgettable (not to mention that Andrew Neufeld from the band Comeback Kid features on the track).  The following song, False Freedom, breaks out its post-hardcore sound with a gentle and even beautiful moment of group vocals over a piano before breaking back into its killer riffs and fast paced drums.
