Well, October didn't contain the three releases I mentioned back in September, but we are hitting two of the three with Killstreak
Admittedly, this is a band that's flown under my radar. I've seen their name around and remember when their album came out, but I kept forgetting to put it on.
Please don't make the mistake I made, especially with their upcoming sophomore album "The Cursed Crown."
The best way to describe the album is if you mixed the sounds of The Wise Man's Fear and Surefire. There's moments of sections that tread closer to metalcore than deathcore, but ultimately, it is a deathcore album.
The true shining beacon of "The Cursed Crown" is that while being a concept album focused around fantasy video games, it doesn't come off as cheesy or too overwhelmingly obvious about it's content. If you know the games that the songs are based around, you'll catch the references without a doubt. But there's more than enough substance here for people who have never played a video game to enjoy the album.
There's a few humerous moments that help make it feel less serious as well as a fantastic interlude that feels perfectly at home in any video game.
The entire album releases this Friday, so if you're up late at night or up before the drop, you can give the album a quick listen and let us know what you think!
This will be a slightly smaller drop with only 175 copies across four variants. Preorders aew available now and are expected to ship out next year around Q1/2!
