I, The Dreamer – “Shadow Hearts” (Standby Records)
I, The Dreamer manage to be infectiously melodic without
sacrificing their metallic thump, trading off chugging leads for soaring
electronica-spattered hooks, much in the same vein as Sleeping with Sirens and
I Prevail, on their latest, Shadow Hearts.
Blistering guitar work and scorching vocals litter opener “Rise,” complete with
stirring melodies and a killer breakdown, metalcore mostly takes a backseat to
post-hardcore on the melodic “Echoes,” “Fearless” dissolves into an array of
discordant screams and shredding riffs and standout track “The Black and White
of Sleepless Nights” showcases I, The Dreamer’s innate ability to croon just as
well as they crush. Shadow Hearts isn’t
anything you haven’t heard before, but I, The Dreamer do what they do very
well, so this EP should easily find a home in your playlist.
