Cast The First Stone (Ensign Album)
''Cast the First Stone'' was the second full-length album by American band Ensign. It was released by Nitro Records in March 1999 and follows the band's debut, '' Direction of Things to Come'' which came out on Indecision Records in November 1997. Overview The combination of a move to a bigger record label and a different guitarist from their previous album did little to alter the band's sound. It was a short, frenetic-paced collection of songs again. The tracks in the early part of the album are straightforward hardcore punk with less inclination to include slower refrain sections – referred to as breakdowns – than in previous recordings. This resulted in the tracks sounding faster. The latter part of the album showed signs that the band was including more metalcore elements into their sound. They would develop this tendency towards a more metalcore sound in their subsequent release, '' The Price of Progression''. Track listing All songs written by Ensign. #"Silent ...

Metalcore
Metalcore (also known as metallic hardcore) is a fusion music genre that combines elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk. As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing. Other defining instrumental qualities include heavy riffs and stop-start rhythm guitar playing, occasional blast beats, and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically use thrash or scream vocals. Some later metalcore bands combine this with clean singing, often during the chorus. Death growls and gang vocals are common. 1990s metalcore bands were inspired by hardcore while later metalcore bands were inspired by melodic death metal bands like At the Gates and In Flames. The roots of metalcore are in the 1980s when bands would combine hardcore punk with heavy metal. This included New York hardcore bands like Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, and Killing Time, British hardcore p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Price Of Progression (Ensign Album)
''The Price of Progression'' is the third full-length album from New Jersey, U.S. band Ensign. It follows on from the 1999 release of '' Cast the First Stone'' and was recorded in November - December 2000 for an April 2001 release on Indecision Records. Overview Ensign had emerged from a period of personnel turmoil to record this album and it was left to the bassist and main songwriter, Nate Gluck, to also take up the job of the guitarwork. The result was a more refined offering which moved sufficiently away from hardcore punk to be recognised in the same circle as some metalcore bands while still retaining the theatrical restraint and lyrical ethics of the hardcore genre. The songs were still short, although many were nearer the three-minute mark than ever before – resulting in the band's longest album ever – but they had more structure and melodic elements than material on either '' Cast the First Stone'' or '' Direction of Things to Come''.

Death By Stereo/Ensign
