(OGR-095) // @akissbeforedying_ - "A Shifting Sense Of Stillness" // CD with full lyric/photo booklet // artwork layout by @brodieguy_

The brand new LP from the Memphis hardcore/metalcore 5-piece is available TODAY digitally & physically on CD! The new album takes a refreshingly original take on the 2000s metalcore sound that loads of bands have tried (& failed) to recreate but AKBD seem to do it effortlessly. Its a nonstop onslaught of intensity filled up with features that only help elevate the songs to new levels.

I wanted to include excerpts from @haylsnb over at the very cool @twentycoreseven who did a much better job at breaking the album down than i ever could with their review;

"There are hints of techniques that are more prevalent in modern metalcore dusted throughout the record though, with alien-like pick scrapes -otherwise known as wee woos - slides, and the use of pedals to create distortion. While other bands in the modern scene tend to overuse these, resulting in them providing nothing but filler cliché’s, A Kiss Before Dying have danced on the line so thoughtfully that they provide enhancement, not hindrance. These small, often abused techniques, will push “A Shifting Sense of Stillness” towards a wider audience, allowing real and false metalcore enjoyers to temporarily come together in agreement that an album does, in fact, fuck."

"In order to prove that they’re a band that means everything they project through their craft, there isn’t a single track on the entire record that spares the listener. This was created for the most dangerous in the pit, and for the ones with no outlet other than music, and while this may be wall to wall visceral aggression, it’s a safe space for human expression, in whichever form that may be."

"This record will end up in a lot of music libraries, not just because of its sheer brilliance, but because it brings an exciting twist to revivalcore that many attempt and fail.
