77. Born Of Osiris - "Through Shadows"

Multi-layered progressive metalcore from Illinois. This is righteously complex stuff. Layers among layers of pulsating guitar melded into each other. Its beauty is the amount of stuff going on. The technical metalcore that the album is swathed in can usually feel rather cold and clinical, however there is an additional warmth and humanity to be found that is provided by the cinematic melody. Overall it feels both epic and expansive but also grounded and confessional. The machine like perfection offset by a bursts of fragility and vulnerability.
