Review: Unearth - III: In The Eyes of Fire

artist: unearth album: iii: in the eyes of fire label: metal blade records released: 8/06 by: rob tatum First off, there is no better band making metalcore than Unearth. Unfortunately, this album does not show growth from The Oncoming Storm. If anything, this is a continuation of their last effort. III: In the Eyes of Fire is heavier and there is less of the clean singing, but there are not significant signs of change or evolution. The music is powerful, fast, and strong, as with every Unearth album. The drumming on this album is better than any of the previous releases. Trevor’s vocals seem more intense than ever. Their ability to write a great and creative breakdown is not lost even after 3 full lengths and a couple of EPs. Overall, you won’t buy a better metalcore album released this year and probably not next year. However, you’d be more impressed if you listen to their older material. This is leagues ahead of every other band in their genre and I can only hope that their next album shows more growth than this one. favorite song: "sanctity of brothers" rating: 91%/100% listen to unearth
