The metal crew known as Alone have
released their latest LP album, “Why Do We Fall...” The record
contains 13 original tracks for an approximate total listening time
approaching a full hour, making for a comprehensive and generous
introduction to this innovative and imaginative band from Poland. It
has been released on the Studio Alone independent record label. With
warlike, hammering drums, chunky, thrashing and wailing guitars, and
melodic vocals which are varied and arresting, “Why Do We Fall...”
by Alone is an album to which fans of all kinds of metal should pay
attention.
Alone cite as main artistic influences
bands like Linkin Park, Rammstein, Slipknot, Korn, Disturbed, Red,
and Bring Me the Horizon. Elements of each of these can be easily
discerned in their style, which sounds less melodramatic than any of
the above while retaining a degree of epic theatricality which forms
a key characteristic of their mood and tone. Songs on “Why Do We
Fall...” are written with plenty of texture and can differ from one
another in surprising ways, each of them helping to build what
results in a towering fortress of a metal record that Alone can stand
on for years to come, though chances are fans can look forward to
more music from these highly creative persons before long.
Asked to describe the overall message
of their new record, Alone say little, choosing only to quote from
what may be the most poignant and widely recognized line from the
work of William Butler Yeats: “But I, being poor, have only my
dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because
you tread on my dreams.”
Alone's official bio describes them as
a rock-oriented band founded in 2006. Their music is a blend of rock,
numetal, electronica and film scores. They are a
multiple-award-winning group, their accolades including two
first-place awards at the Rhythms of Lodz Festival, 2008; a
second-place award at Chelmstock, 2008; and first place at the Global
Battle of the Bands, 2008. In 2011, the band won their second
Elimination Public Award at Rock am Ring, at which they competed
against more than 50 bands from all of Europe. More recently, they
garnered the Public Award from the Emergenza Festival Finals in Lodz,
2014. Their full-concert DVD was released in April of the same year.
“Why Do We Fall...” by Alone is
available online worldwide. Metal fans should get in early.
