For Today

REVIEW: For Today – Prevailer

Band: For Today
Album: Prevailer EP
Genre: Metalcore
Label: Razor & Tie

If you’ve been aware of metalcore for more than a couple months you’re likely aware that there’s a large subsect of it aptly called “Christian metalcore” in which bands play pretty regular metalcore, but also happen to sing mostly about their faith. For Today is one of these bands, perhaps even the biggest Christan metalcore band active today (Immortal, their debut with Razor & Tie, peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200 in 2012). Now, about eleven months after Immortal‘s release, they’re dropping a followup …

Binary Star have just released a brand new self-titled 6-track EP and I think it’s safe to say that the wait was worth it. One Be and Silla are back with a furious style, classic …
