BEFORE THE TORN - 8 DAYS...AND A CRUSHED GHOST

What makes Before The Torn amazing, and there are many things, is most of all the complexity of the issues of musical diversity. They are master of the heavy metal riff and lead, partakers of the punk machine gun, all immersed in the ethos of melody. They can be heavy psychedelic (Coming To An End, from the first half of the 8 Days combo which is four songs of the EP Behind Every Treason), bombastic riffing (EP's self title) and downright epic (from the latest 8 Days stuff - "The Hardest Winter"). They write screamo flavored hits (Rising From Within, and the compilation opener The Day We Died). Hopefully vocalist Guilherme Henriques is drinking his aloe vera gel, because he strips his chords of any protection on every song, he is screaming his ass off. Another thing I really liked about the band was the fact that lead guitar was in high esteem. Sometimes today that is missing. Before The Torn are highly recommended.
