Allies To The Adversary have released their second album titled "Deathbed." This album is one that has a little more of a heavier, technical feel to it than the last album, it bring up their sound to a really nice level. This album is similar to that of Structures or Chelsea Grin, so if you are into either of these bands, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty decent job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a fairly decent quality. The bands instrumentation on here is pretty good as well, nothing spectacular, but they can play. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals are not bad, he has some nice deep screams, a little hard to tell the lyrics, but this goes quite well with the deathcore style. He does however do some of the typical things you hear in this music, like the blah, but overall not bad. With the lyrics, they are pretty harsh and have a negative side to them. Now this is not bad since this is what fans of this music are looking for, but maybe a little more of a significant message to them could help. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Lucid Dreaming" your attention as it is the hardest hitting song and gives you the best idea of the potential of the band. Allies To The Adversary have followed up their debut with a really nice  effort. This is hard, brutal and just a pretty awesome record all around. Good job guys. Hopefully they will keep this up. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Allies To The Adversary have released their debut self titled album. This album has a very heavy feel with a groove to it that gives it a little more layer to the sound. think of something like a Suicide Silence when listening to this. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the quality is alright, could use a touch here or there, but otherwise its good and the instrumentation of the band is pretty solid as well. Now onto the lyrics and vocals, the vocals are hard to understand the words, but for deathcore, they are pretty good, just wish that the lyrics were a little more meaningful, but thats okay also. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to see what the sound and feel of the album is. Allies To The Adversary are a young  band that is trying to break into the deathcore genre and so far they are doing an alright job. Hopefully they progress and continue to write new music and get out there more. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it and go see them at a show if you do like it.
