There is a new album that has been contributed to the Metal World. Inner Surge has recorded and released their third album called Signals Screaming. Coming from such Metal sounds as System Of A Down, Slipknot, Tool and Megadeth, Billy Talent, Inner Surge has released their third effort Signals Screaming. Signals Screaming if made up of 11 Tight Heavy Metal Pounding songs. The Members of Inner Surge are Jim Ferandes on Bass, Scott Taylor plays Guitar, Bryan Sandau who is the power force behind the drums, and finally Steve Moore on Vocals and Guitar.
The first song on Inner Surges Signals Screaming album opens into a quiet experimental bleeding guitar. The guitar sounds out of this first song instantly reminded me of the sounds that Marilyn Manson recorded in the starting of a few of his songs. The song picks up near the end to just give a little sample of the sound that is Inner Surge.
The second song The Outcome opens up with a heavy guitar riff that is the base of the song. After a few bars the song kicks into full Metal head banging gear. Another genre that comes into place in this song is Screamo. Luckily it isnt throughout the entire song but only in a couple of places. The guitar sound in this song made it my favourite off of the album. Like most songs the opening riff really decides if the song has potential, in this song it did it for me. The drum speed in this song really pushed the power of the song, even though it was only for a couple of seconds it really stood out to me.
Flames In Synergy is the third song and it picks up right where The Outcome left off. The Vox in this sound was recorded and blended into this song perfectly. Near the end of the song when the Steve Moore lets his vocals rip I liked how the vocals were tuned down and didnt overpower the guitars.
Retribution Song is a written with the bands political influence about the Uzbekistan massacre. While looking at the lyrics there is no exact mention of the Uzbekistan massacre or really any reference about the tragedy. Either it was the bands intention to write this song this way or it is just Inner Surges way to show their political and worldly views.
What made this album work in so many ways is the polished sound that comes from the album. I find a lot of metal albums sound like they are recorded in a basement or a cheap recording studio. This is fine in many ways because it gives the album that extra character and Metal sound, but with this album the sound is nicely recorded, sharp and crisp sound and carries the sound throughout the album.
