5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Metalcore Band At Their Best, May 11, 2009

This review is from: Arise And Conquer (Audio CD)

If you're into heavy metalcore at all, "War of Ages" is not a band to miss. Leroy and the band are at what I call "top, TOP form" on this album I can only call classic WOA. Lyrically, these guys are keeping it smooth (as always) with songs about salvation, the consuming power of Christ, keeping the faith, and not heeding temptation. Even if you aren't a Christian, you'll sense a distinct and positive power in this music that's impossible to deny. I'm an avid listener, and I've yet to find heavy metalcore that radiates this kind of positive power.

Musically, "WOA" is playing a bit further in the metal realm (less "Demon Hunter" more "Becoming the Archetype" meets "August Burns Red." Although, I hesitate to draw comparisons, because "War of Ages" is something completely distinct all by itself.

BOTTOM LINE:
If you like heavy metal, classical, brutally catchy hard rock all wrapped in a beautiful (Christ honoring) package, WOA will not only be your cup of tea but your crumpets and strawberries as well.

OTHER RECOMMENDED ALBUMS:
Any of WOA's other albums (each a masterpiece.)
Messengers-August Burns Red
Physics of Fire-Becoming the Archetype
The Triptych-Demon Hunter
With Roots Above and Branches Below-The Devil Wears Prada
Wars and Rumors of Wars-The Chariot
Lost in the Sound of Separation-Underoath

5.0 out of 5 stars another amazing show of musicianship, October 8, 2008

When I first heard these guys I knew they had some serious talent on their shoes -- what?--, and this cd, to my incredible un-disappointment, has been such an amazing testament to that hunch. this record is hard, fast, creative, melodic, and full of foot-stomping awesomeness that will get your adrenaline flowing like white water rapids. no joke. I love this band, and I love this cd. CHECK IT OUT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars these guys are primed for some serious rump-kicking, August 29, 2008

right from the start, when these guys yell "All Consuming Fire", you know that it is going to be a slobberknocker. on this release, it sounds as if they are mixing melodic death metal with metalcore. I have been a fan of this band for two years and they really deliver the goods. they prove that you can be a Christian and still deliver a beatdown. they are uplifting just like their labelmates Flee The Seen. Facedown has a bright future ahead of them.
