If I have to talk generally, not many metalcore bands provoke me to get out of my chair or the seat in the tube and start rocking. In this aspect Kingdom Collapse have definately succeeded in surprising me pleasantly. The quintet is evidence of the NWOAHM tsunami that sweeps absolutely everything down its way, no matter what.

The songs in Common Ground are only three, so there’s not much to write. And just as I am thinking this, I suddenly remember how professional the texas boys sound and that there is a lot to be noted. For example, the combination between texts and music. Or the well-played riffs and the putting in ritualistic trance breakdowns. Not to mention Josh Wolford‘s grunts. The explosive drums and stable guitars are the reason I am fascinated by what I’ve heard. Just imagine what kind of an addition was the energy, set in the lyrics. Writing that…

Many of the people may think when it comes down to metalcore, there is no sense in them. Yeah, okay. Every single text in the EP bears its own blast, but all of them are dramatic down to the core.
E.g. – Dear Dad. In it we’re reading ‘Dear dad/ I hope that you’re proud of me/ I hope I’m the man you expected of me/ Dear dad,/ I pray you’re looking after me/ I pray I’m the son/ You always wanted me to be’. From the very beggining you’ll say it’s another broken relationship song, but you’re wrong. A man sends letters to his dead father. Got something to say? Thought so.

In Serenity the character prays to God for strenght. And for rest, of course: God, grant me serenity/ to accept the things/ I can’t change/ please God,/ grant me the divinity/ to change the things that will/ they say stay invisible/ and believe/ the unbelievable…

Bottom Feeder only confirms the high opinion I’ve set for Kingdom Collapse. You can reassure yourselves why I am thrilled by watching the video down the review.
The three songs have their videos already and everyone alone should check the talanted american’s work just to hear what devotion does for people.
