Autumn Lost in Silence

The debut from UK outfit Killing Me Softly, 'Autumn Lost in Silence' channels the sound of late 90s/early 2000s metalcore through a modern lens, blending melodic, mathy guitar riffs with a frenetic powerviolence energy. Vocalist Jono Roberts delivers pained, unhinged shrieks over the compositions, which feature sparingly-used breakdowns and are bound by a raw, chaotic production style. The album largely forgoes clean singing, instead favoring a visceral and adrenaline-fueled approach that separates it from many of its contemporaries.
