The album debuted at No. 67 on the ''Billboard'' 200, with around 7,000 copies sold the United States in its first week of release. Critical reception Awarding the album four stars for About.com, Chad Bowar describes, "The album blends ferocious yells and dense riffs with melodic vocals and memorable choruses. They are tailor made for live shows, with both pit-inducing breakdowns and singalong parts. The songwriting is excellent, shifting tempos and intensities enough to avoid monotony, and even though they aren't reinventing the wheel, the execution is flawless." Natasha Van Duser, giving the album four stars from ''New Noise Magazine'', states, "New sonic directions are typically hard to uphold, but For Today transitions flawlessly with ''Wake'' creating one of the most brutal records they’ve released to date."

Design The Skyline
Design the Skyline is an American avant-garde metal band from Corpus Christi, Texas. Formed in 2007, the band originally was known as Extra Large Kids during high school and recorded demo songs while playing in their local area under this name. In 2011, the band gained international attention after being signed to Victory Records with their song " Surrounded by Silence" and its accompanying video, which was so negatively received to the point where the band gained a considerable exposure. The negative reaction was generally due to the song's key structure and sound changes, as well the band's overt "scene" image at the time. The band's later-released debut full-length album, '' Nevaeh'', subsequently featured a completely different sound to that of "Surrounded by Silence". ''Nevaeh'' was met with generally mixed reviews, though fans of the genre itself were highly critical of the album. Since 2011, the band has gone through an abundance of lineup changes, even leading a short b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Christian Metal
Christian metal, also known as white metal, Jesus metal or heavenly metal, is heavy metal music distinguished by its Christian themed song lyrics and the dedication of the band members to Christianity. Christian metal is typically performed by professed Christians, principally for Christians and is often produced and distributed through various Christian networks. Christian metal bands exist in most of the subgenres of heavy metal music, and the only common link among most Christian metal bands are the lyrics. The Christian themes are often melded with the subjects of the genre the band is rooted in, regularly providing a Christian take on the subject matter. It has been argued that the marginal yet transnational Christian metal subculture provides its core members with an alternative religious expression and Christian identity, and that the music serves the purpose of offering a positive message through lyrical content. This may not necessarily show a direct connection or re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
