Sent By Ravens - The Effects Of Fashion And Prayer

Artist:Sent By Ravens

Album:The Effects Of Fashion And Prayer

Release Date:July 6,2008

Label:Independent

So,the other day,I stumbled upon this band while looking on Wikipedia at Tooth and Nail's page and saw that they had signed this band. The T+N's site put up an article about signing this band. And as a big Tooth and Nail fan and supporter, and knew that I should give fans something to look forward to,so I am doing Sent By Ravens' independent record. So, Sent By Ravens is a rock/progressive band that was put together completely last year. They have also been referred to as "heavy" by others. So this band sounded great and I wanted to check them out. Then I contacted their management and got the album. The first track "Trailer Vs. Tornado" is a great track that features the rumored "heaviness". About 3/4 of the way through on almost every tack,there is a quick breakdown that sounds like a combination of Andrew Schwab's heaviness from Picket Fence Cartel and Cody Bonnette's raw yelling from As Cities Burn's 2nd album. So,it is not hardcore screaming, but it is loud,doubtless. The next track "This Awakening" is a great track about wanting in spiritual terms,to come back to life. After that features 2 more songs that follow the same style. track 5 is named "I Am" and is more speaking with music and is pretty neat. The last track "The Best In Me" features some female vocals and is softer than the other songs on the album. This is a great album and I would recommend picking it up off AmazonMP3 or iTunes.

Album Highlights:This Awakening,Trailer Vs. Tornado,The Best In Me The first 2 tracks from the album will be featured on their new album coming out this winter!

Rating:9.5/10 This is a very promising band that fits in perfectly with Tooth and Nail and will have a big future ahead of them!
