WOVENWAR – Honor Is Dead (CD) Digipak

WOVENWAR (California, USA) – Honor Is Dead (used Digipak CD copy) (2016) Released by Metal Blade Records in a 4-panel digipak. This is the band's 2nd full-length studio album originally released on October 21st, 2016.

Honor is Dead is a fast, energetic, album that will keep fists pumping, chests bashing, and heads banging.

Performances are excellent on Honor is Dead. Lead vocalist Shane Blay flexes his melodic and his screamo muscles, the rhythm section is dialed in tighter than a wristwatch wound beyond reason, and the guitar work is exemplary. Production suits the music perfectly, with an aggressive mix and that’s definitely squashed as far as the dynamics go, but nevertheless manages to bring vocals and solos to the fore. Bottom end is not lacking, and the scattering of breakdowns throughout the record shake the speakers.

The songwriting is also tight on Honor is Dead. The eleven songs clock in at 39 minutes with the longest cut being just 4:02.

WOVENWAR have crafted a scorcher of a heavy Metal/Metalcore offering for us. Fans of both WOVENWAR’s debut as well as previous As I Lay Dying material will be stoked when they hear Honor is Dead. -- Metal Blade Records – 3984-15467-2
