(review) A Vulture Wake – ‘One.Kingdom.Animal’ (Thousand Islands Records)

A Vulture Wake released this new record three months ago, but no matter, never too late for good music isn’t it? This one is in fact an album which contains two e.p.’s called ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Animal’. So, these are 11 songs of melodic punk rock, I may even call it progressive melodic punk rock, influenced with technical skate punk and some hints of melodic hardcore topped by vocals done by none other than legendary Chad Price (ALL/Drag The River) whose rough and recognizable melodic voice carries the listener to other dimension full of personal emotions, hope, giving other chance and also fear, sadness, blood and anguish. This collection of songs mixes agony melancholy and melody in such a great way that I listened to this one couple of times in a row to be able to hear some of the excellent songwriting and musicianship on this record. My personal favorites are: ‘Blood’, ‘Lost Cause Of The Year’, and ‘We Are Living In A Dream’. Excellent!
