A Dying Race have released their third album titled "Escaping Your Fate". This album shows the band has continued on with the same sound and style from the previous two albums. The band seems to have a punkish metal sound to them, and it still work with things bands are doing today. They seem to have a similar sound to that of early Protest The Hero, The Fullblast and even A Loss For Words, so if you are into any of these bands, you could like this album. They have done a pretty solid job here.
When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty decent quality. Now the vocals have a bit more of a lesser sounding quality, but this could be with the way the singer is singing. All in all, this is a solid sounding record. The instrumentation is pretty good as well. You can tell the band knows how to play, and play fast. They are however not going to blow you away with crazy solos or guitar riffs, but they can certainly play.
Now onto the vocals and lyrics, with the vocals, you can certainly tell that the singer can sing. He is pretty clear, but has a little bit of a whiney voice that makes it sound a tiny bit lesser quality. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about fighting back, making life yours, how society is going, and more. These seem to be the type of lyrics you find more in the punk scene, which is where they are trying to fit into. We feel the people they are targeting will understand and get these lyrics. They definitely have a theme to their music and seems to be working.
If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song, and you will get the idea of the sound and style of this album.
A Dying Race have made an album that follows suit with their sound and style created previously. They have a solid foundation, and this is probably the best overall showing of the band as a whole. We really like this album and think it is one you should check out. Don't just take our word for it, listen to the album yourself and decide what you think.
