Hands

[Regards]

Anyone else listen to this band? I'm listening for the first time and I'm ridiculously impressed. Great grab from Facedown.

[batmannj]

I'm liking it so far.

EDIT: Wow, a lot better instrurmentation than I originally thought they would do. I'm not huge into the vocals, but the music is great.

The instrumental work is phenominal. I'm absolutely loving what they have posted so far. And I'm actually a fan of the vocals :shrugs: I think it works with the music really well.

Yeah I think it was on the second song on there was the only one I didn't really care for them but this is really nice. I had seen ads for them, and even though I like a lot of Facedown's roster I didn't think too much about them because I didn't want another breakdown breakdown breakdown but this is a breathe of fresh air.

Exactly, I was the same way, but I saw they were playing at a music fest I'm going to be at, so I had to check 'em out. Happy I did. Looks like another great release is going to be coming out this year.

Yeah definitely. I saw you had made the thread so I figured they weren't going to be something cookie cutter haha.

lol yeah definitely. Usually when you rec something it's pretty solid so I gave it a shot. :beerbros:

[OdeToTheSun]

I've heard some stuff by them and it was alright. Probably need to listen to it again to say whether I really like it or not.

Now all I need is colorblind and bard to post in here and this thread pretty much spanned out exactly how I thought it would.

And atta boy. Still really digging these tunes.

[a speedo model]

I enjoy the album.

[Regards]

Just finished The Sounds Of Earth an it is an excellent album. Loved it. I thought it would be heavier, but they did a good job of keeping me on my toes.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Hopefully I can get a hold of it soon, I can't DL anything for a while.

[AndrewIcex]

I will take a listen right now.

EDIT: Wow, not bad at all, I definitely can dig their jam, for sure.

Here is Klatzke's review, he always does a good job: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=904732

[xJesusFreakx]

Huh, I always assumed this was a really boring band; I seem to recall hearing one of their songs and thinking, "Great, another one of these bands." I kinda like this, though.

Yeah, you can't dispute what they're doing is definately, if not anything, a cut above everyone else in the genre.

[wtfmates]

I haven't been listening to heavier music much lately, but I dig this.

[xJesusFreakx]

Bump. Been actually loving these songs, and looking forward to their CD.

Band was decent live. I really liked the recordings so I expected to like them more then I did, but maybe it was because there were other great bands playing the rest of the night that they got outshined. I have a feeling I'll like them alot more if they continue down the post-metal direction they're headed.

I saw them at Cornerstone on FaceDown night. I liked their live show alot. The vocalist get's very emotional when he is performing and gives it his all. I just got the vibe that they were very thankful for the opportunities they have been giving and are very thankful to be able to play shows. But yeah, I like them. The song Hope is very good live, IMO.

[awakeohsleeper]

This is a very good band.

[lew_1987]

That wasn't bad, some good moments. Wouldn't be in a rush to listen to it again though.

Hope was definitely my favorite song of theirs live.

Just saw them on Saturday and loved 'em. They had a few technicall difficulties, but they bounced back. Of The Flesh was exxxccelllent live.

Also I bought the Everlasting ep and love it. I really dig this band.

Is the EP like The Sound of Earth?

Not really, It has more singing parts, and the metal is a little more leaning towards metalcore instead of the sludgier sound of SOE.

Alright I will check it out. I hope they announce a tour soon because they don't have a date close to me yet.

[xJesusFreakx]

Oh, sweet... This album comes out next week. I'll definitely pick it up.

They didn't say anything about a tour, but aren't they on the scream the prayer? Someone told me they were, but that could be totally off.

They had a pre-order for 9.99 that was the CD, a teeshirt and a poster. Swt deal.

Really? Is that still up? I might go ahead and do that.

EDIT: Yeah, it is, and that's a pretty sweet shirt. The store also has xLooking Forwardx's CD for $1.99, which I've wanted for a while, so I'm definitely doing that after work.

Yeah, facedown has some sweet stuff going down sale wise.

[Klatzke]

Easily the best Facedown band. I reviewed their debut (or the one from Oort) here, and I'm about to pre-order their one that's coming up here soon off of Facedown.

Oceana was my last one but that album severely disappointed me.

I'm currently psyched for this and He Is Legend and those are pretty much the only two albums I can think of.

[Regards]

I think I enjoy the EP more than the Debut, batmannj, did you get a chance to check out the EP yet? Track number three on it is phenomenal.

I saw them this past weekend and I bought it from them, so no clue where you'd find it. They played Hope and Revelation at the show at they were amazing. Its hard to compare the two albums really, both are really good I guess. Bad post on my part. Also this band has awesome deals on their merch, and awesome looking merch.

Yeah Oceana's was disappointing. I really wish they would have done more songs like the The Family Disease instead of throwing in all the needless screaming.

HiL is one that I am looking forward to as well, I've heard mixed things on the new album.

I got a chance to download it but I gotta transfer it to my laptop because I don't have a rar reader on my PC at home so I will listen to it later today. I'm Rob if that's easier to use than my user name lol.

People won't like HIL because it's more "mainstream" but you can tell from the demos they know what they're doing with the slower songs.

And my sister bought the tee shirt version, and we wear the same size, score.

Yeah, thus is the problem with ordering stuff online, I have the same issue. That's why I get most of my band merch from them live now. Its just not worth it to get something that doesn't fit.

exactly. I stopped buying merch online unless I know the company. There are few stores I'll buy from online unless they have set fits.

Yeah I really enjoyed the demos they had up on the MySpace awhile back. Apparently a slowed down version leaked but I'm not interested in listening to it until I hear the high quality version.

Yeah, they had some sweet shirts for only 5$, but they only had them in small... and I'm a large kinda guy. There was a sweet grey tee shirt that had SHOW YOUR PROGRESS written on it with hands written from top to bottom. Coolio stuff. Nice to meet you too Rob haha.

Yeah same here, I am a large at least, XL if the stuff runs small or shrinks. I pre-ordered an Agraceful hoodie one time but after I washed it once, I couldn't wear it because it was way too small, I would have looked like one those scene kids at the show with clothes that are wayyyy toooo tight, so I just gave it to a smaller friend who liked them lol.

That sounds alright, I don't really like fully covered shirts though. Yeah, I wear small/medium depending on the manufacturer.

That they do. I'll be getting two CDs and a t-shirt, as well as a poster, for well under $20. :-d

And, no, they aren't on Scream the Prayer. I wish.

A friend of mine got their Creator pre-order today... hopefully mine is waiting for me at home :-)

A friend of mine got his today and I am jealous haha. I'm listening to The Everlasting EP and I'm loving this. It's the best 'heavy' music I have listened to in a long long time.

[Regards]

Got mine yesterday! I've only listened to the first three tracks so far, but I love it. Song 3... Brightest I think its called is so good. The breakdown at the end is a true return to good breakdowns. I Love it.

[awakeohsleeper]

I want this new album. I don't know if they are selling it in the UK yet though.

[doppelganger]

it sounds pretty generic :/

I can't find it anywhere around me. It's not at Best Buy or any of the Christian book stores I looked at. I'm trying a place like 45 minutes away from my house later today though, I should have just pre-ordered it.

Yeah a friend of mine got it and I can't really put into words how jealous I am. Plus the stores by me are like the real mainstream stuff like Target or K-Mart that really doesn't have that great of selection or a few Christian book stores that don't really do a good job of keeping on the up and up with new releases. I buy 95% of my music at Best Buy because almost always they have what I want, but no luck on Hands.

I finally got around to listening to The Everlasting EP and I thought it was pretty good.

It's funny because I only bought The Sounds of Earth last week. So I've been listening to that lots. Then I finally found that I could download Creator from amazon.com. And I was like 'wait a minute, I recognise this'. Thanks for confirming that though. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be there! I love that song!

[xJesusFreakx]

"Hey guys... sorry for sending this bulliten so many times, but we want to make sure that everyone knows that our “Creator” is in stores and online NOW! Pick up a copy online at iTunes, or the Facedown Records online store (Click on the image above). Or you can get one at Hot Topic, FYE, Hastings, Best Buy (select stores), Zia, Angelos, Newbury Comics, Dimple, Rasputins and many more indie stores nationwide. "

Wow, that's ridiculous.
Ridiculously awesome :thumbup:

Love 'em. They've perfected the awesome lyrical line into a breakdown. Love it.

I really enjoy it a lot. Brightest is definately still my favorite track
It's over an hour and only ten tracks. How the fuck is that not long.
Considering there are 10 minutes of slience, then a secret track at the end of the 10th track that would make 11 tracks in a matter of over 50 minutes so each song averages out to what, 5-6 minutes? I don't get bored with the tracks and I don't find it too long at all :shrug: if anything I'm more impressed at their song writing that they can pull off metalcore and write such long/interesting songs. As someon in a metalcore band I know that's not an easy thing to do.

Listening to this for the first time now, finally. I am loving it, as stated before, the breakdown in Brightest is great, and these songs really sound good. By far, the best heavy record I have listened to this year.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I didn't care for it when I first heard them on myspace, but then I downloaded the album, and liked it. They were here last Wednesday so I went and saw them and pickedup a shirt and poster along wtih the album.

[batmannj]

I don't think I've been this blown away in a long time.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I listened to this so much last week that I was kinda worn out on it, but I just started listening to it again and it's like I'm listening to it for the first time again.

Brightest is a great song. The album is really really great. I think I still enjoy Sons Of Thunder more this year, but the fact that they released two great albums in the same year is impressive.

I guess that is huge for me they did two records in a year. Sons Of Thunder was good, but for me, Hands just blew everything else I've heard this year out of the water.

Still haven't really gotten into this :shrug:.. I think I've just been too busy with some other albums to really give it a chance.

The Everlasting EP. It sounds more like Creator than SOTE

New album coming out soon. So far every song they've released for it sounds amazing.

Anyone picking up Give Me Rest today? Absolutely cannot wait to hear it.

Tremendous record, diggin it way more than Creator.

This album is amazing. My album of the year easily.

[awakeohsleeper]

Will probably end up waiting a few weeks for this to arrive in the UK... worth the wait by the sounds of it!

[TwelveTribes230]

New album is a lot better than Creator.

[jay_klinkhammer]

I want to reiterate that it is still my favorite album not just this year but in a long time. This will be with me forever. This album deserves a lot of praise, I hope people will check it out.

Should hear it for the first time on Tuesday. My package has finally arrived in the UK but I got it delivered to my parent's house because I've been moving house. But my sister is dropping by tomorrow so the time may finally be here! I am so unbelievably excited. The positive response I have seen around on the internet has just keeps increasing my anticipation. Ahhhhhh! Cannot wait!

Yeah, it's definitely better than Creator, which is saying something considering how much I loved Creator. With that said, I'm not sure if I like it more than Sounds of the Earth, but my goodness, it's up there.
