Meadows are hailing from USA and this is their new record with Facedown Records who continue to give to the scene amazing releases. This record contains 13 songs divided in three parts telling story of love, betrayal, anguish, hope and sorrow among others. The music of Meadows can be described as what we called in the nineties new school hardcore with melodic hardcore punk influences. Although there are couple of excursions into faster hardcore punk approach, the songs are slower in general, with stop and go parts, lost of atmospheric almost post hardcore guitar riffs and vocals that are superb and fit perfectly to the vibe of the songs, being shouted, screamed and at times sung clean. My personal favorites are The Flood, The Dove, The Embrace, those three. But, I recommend you to listen to the album as a whole and only then you will get the real picture of the magnitude of this opus.
