For along time i hated everything victory put out. Then they released darkest hour. That albumn kills! And now we have Dead To Fall. Simply put, This albumn will floor you. METAL! Scathing vocals, Deep death vox. It's all here. Amazing guitar work. Drums with enough energy to keep a small city lit. Melodic , And fast. What a perfect blend. Lots of comparisons to sweadish metal bands, No need to mention names. But i think this stands all by itself. I cant stop listening to it. So pick this one up...

This album is incredible. The perfect blending of hardcore, swedish melodic death and good ol U.S. death metal make "Everything I Touch Falls To Pieces" one of the most important albums in my collection. BUY THIS ALBUM if you are a fan of hardcore or death metal...period. Every song on this cd is solid with 0 filler. Dead To Fall is what the world of heavy music needs. Check this out!

Ok, Dead To Fall is nothing new or different, not particulary powerful, sonically crushing, agonizingly emotional, etc, etc, etc. They're the kind of 'metalcore' band that makes we wince a bit when I say that word. They've got the long-time-standard breakdowns, those "dun-dun-dadadada-dun-dun" mid-tempo, 4/4 time, open-E and double bass, Shadow's Fall without the groove, crappy breakdowns. Actually, that's probably my biggest gripe about this album... I've heard bands with no real discernable talent at all who can still pull off some decent breakdowns.

As for the rest, it's basically a mix of As I Lay Dying, a little thrashy late-90s death metal, and a bit of mid-years Enslaved-style melodic black metal, which is cool in theory, but very poorly executed. The occasional blast parts are luke-warm, and the crap drum production really doesn't help their cause at all.

They're solid, yeah, but the songwriting has few peaks and valleys, so the album as a whole is a tedious listen with little that sticks in your head.
