3. Shark Tank

4. Voted Off The Island

5. We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

Eaten By Sharks have released their debut album entitled "We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat". This album shows the band in a very technical way. These guys are very heavy and chaotic in their sound. They have a similar sound to that of a Beneath The Massacre, or The Contortionist, so if you like those bands, you could really like this band. The band has done an alright job here.

When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to just an okay level. The music sounds like it could be off the floor in some parts, and the vocals have a grungy and gritty sound to them. They could use a clearer, cleaned up recording in general to this album, and it could work to up this album. The instrumentation on this album is what really stands out though. This band can certainly play, and for a tech band, this is essential because this is what fans are looking for. These guys have done a really good job on this part of the album and this is the main piece to this album.

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are not too bad. You can hear the growls and screams have a nice solid sound to them. There is a little bit of work to be done, but it certainly works for the sound and style they are going for, plus he can do metal vocals. With the lyrics, the band likes to go for a lot of nautical themes in their lyrics. They have themes of gore, monsters, and being frustrated with the world. These are some typical themes bands in this genre talk about. Fans that like gruesome lyrics will like tis band, and they have done a really good job with the stories on their songs. Feel like people will like this.

If you are looking for a single to this album, give the title track "We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat" your attention as it is the best song on the alum, and give you the best overall idea of what the rest of the album sounds like. 

Eaten By Sharks have made an album that shows off what the band is all about and gives them something to start from. This also gives them something to play shows with. We like what they have done so far, and are excited to see what they come up with next. Listen to this album, and decide for yourself what you think about it.

Structures - All Of The Above

1. Departure

2. Transitions

3. Encounter...

4. In Pursuit Of

5. Still Waters

This is the EP that created a lot of buzz for Structures. A band full of teenagers with such technical guitar work. To top it off, these guys are really heavy and they bring the skill, back to the metal scene. These guys have converted people into fans wherever they go, and with this EP, you can tell why. Departure is a great opening track as well. This band needs to be listened to if you haven't already. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

The debut full length album from this band is one that right off the bat you say is a metal record. It has the guitar work, it has the screams, and it has feel of a true metal album. I would say it is a little heavier then your traditional metal band, but that's good. overall, this is a decent album. Give it a listen.
