(record review)DEAF AUTUMN-“The Shape”(This is Core)

Deaf Autumn is an Italian band that is relatively new on the scene, being formed in 2013. This trio blends their hardcore, punk, nu metal and rock influences into a unique experience of heartfelt music. Through the years they released the debut album, made some quality videos and made themselves a formidable fan base.

2017.came and with it, the guys started to record the second full length new album with a new drummer and another guitar player, now functioning as a quartet. The album is finished and This is Core renewed their trust in Deaf Autumn making it the perfect label to release this new album.

The album contains ten songs in English language with a lot of melody and now as I listened to it I feel kinda sad afterwards but also kinda hopeful. The music is harsh with shouted lyric parts and melodic clean vocal choruses, so fans of such combinations like I am will be satisfied. There are also some calmer more atmospheric songs like “Love Pretender” with beautiful interplay between male and female vocals. I also loved “Over me” very much because it combined aggression with melody in a way that was so emotional, angry, but also totally nice. All of the songs on the album are great, so it was really hard for me to pick some highlights.  Deaf Autumn will be big, I know it, and this album is one more proof that the Italian underground scene is one of my favourite European underground music scenes.
