4. Fake Lashes

Dawn Vally have released their album "Still Bleeding". This album does indeed keeps your ears still bleeding from after their previous effort. They have the same kind of sound and style as their previous album as well. The band has more of a growl style, as opposed to screams, so we would say they are similar to that of a Death or Opeth. So if you like those bands, you could like this album. They have done an alright job here.

When looking at the recording quality here, the band has recorded this album to a somewhat average sound here. The music sound a little quieter than their previous album and could do with a more professional recording, as opposed to in someone's basement. This could take the music just that much higher. With the instrumentation, the music isn't really too crazy. This is pretty much your typical metal playing, a bunch of chugs and breakdowns, but they can certainly play. The band shows off a little bit here and there, but mostly just good old regular playing. 

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are not too bad. The band doesn't do the sung vocals, so it's all just screamed, growl vocals. Their singer seems to be able to pull them off decently, and it gives a heavier vibe to the band. With the lyrics, the band goes for lyrics on  more of an Emmure of Attila front. Their lyrics are in your face, and more so saying things to see if a reaction can be gotten from the listener. They have songs talking about girls negatively, relationships, life etc. These aren't bad, we just would only really choose to listen to that from time to time. 

If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "That Sloppy Girl You Once Knew" your attention, as that is the single off this EP, and shows off the bands style the best. 

Dawn Vally has made a second album that give the band more material to play more shows, have longer sets, and show off more of what the band is about. They have done an all right job overall. The music is awesome, and we like the heaviness. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
