#Protest the hero discography full#
I has all what a prog fan would dream of : themes carefully chosen (catastrophies in the 20-30's USA), epic drive, poetic and yet down to earth lyrics, complex time signatures, impossible guitar riffs, strong and full soundscape. I listened to other PTH albums, but they sound like rehearsals for this one, which seems to embody all what PTH has been aiming to, during its now 13 years career. Since then, I just listen to this album on a daily basis. Posted Thursday, Decem| Review this album | Report (Review #2482117)Īfter months wandering through some nice, but quickly forgottent tunes, I discovered PTH for 1 months, thanks to a review of Palimpsest on SputnikMusic. For the rest of us, a 3 of 5 stars will suffice. If you are a prog fan with a soft spot for the likes of MyĬhemical Romance, this album is all world. Where the post-hardcore influence is just too dominant. There are just too many moments on this record (e.g. Protest the Hero is at their best when they pull together frantic technical riffage with big and maniacal chorusesĪnd melodic passages. And while IĬan certainly understand this position, I don't quite share that same level of enthusiasm.
The case can and will almost certainly be made by many that this is Protest the Hero's finest record. Your attention even if you are not the biggest fan of the post-hardcore vibes. Preachy emo character of the music definitely lingers throughout but it is backed by real substance that is worth Some genuinely refreshing takes on some of America's lesser known historical episodes and milestones. By putting my ego aside, I discovered a record full of beauty, rockin' riffage, and Thankfully, I recently realized how silly and defensive this was and understood that a groupĪs talented and influential as Protest the Hero deserved serious consideration regardless of how I may have Tell Americans everything wrong with their history was my initial impression when listening to the record shortlyĪfter it first dropped. Here were a bunch of emo Canadians out to I must admit, Palimpest and I really got off on the wrong foot. PROTEST THE HERO is an excellent example of a band taking elements of various genres and creating intelligent,original and jaw-droppingly complex music and are highly recommended. "Fortress" was release in 2008.Although the album is broken into three movements,it is not exactly a concept album but an album revolving around a single concept,which according to their bassist and lyricist Arif Mirabdolbaghi,is more akin to "goddess worship in the tradition of Robert Graves". Their sound was originally hardcore punk,and in 20 they released "The Search for Truth" and "A Calculated Use of Sound" EP's respectively.In 2005 PROTEST THE HERO signed to Vagrant Records and released their first full length album "Kezia".A concept album,"Kezia" signalled a dramatic shift in their sound.The band began experimenting with unconventional song structures,incorporating elements of metalcore,mathcore and progressive metal into their music. Ontario,Canada's PROTEST THE HERO was formed in 1999 when the band members were only 14 years old under the moniker HAPPY GO LUCKY.The day after their senior exams the young band went out on tour to gain exposure.
