 
Pierce The Veil are back with their third studio
album ‘Collide With the Sky’ which
happens to be their strongest album release today,
the band stick with their post-hardcore sound
which sounds like D.R.U.G.S, The Used and the
Chipmunks mixed together, but what Pierce The
Veil have done differently this time around is
come up with bigger, better and heavier songs
than ever before.
The album opens with ‘May These Noises Startle
You In Y’ which is a short instrumental
introduction which features the band tuning up
and getting ready to unleash the mayhem with ‘Hell
Above’ when all hell does break lose when
the band come together with a mad flurry of riffs,
drum beats and big stand out vocals which have
a catchy streak due to the high pitched nature.
‘A Match Into Water’ tells the story
of how Vic kisses the scars on the skin of a dead
women, the lyrics are extremely random but well
executed with some amazing vocal work, instrumentally
the guitars go off like machine guns whilst everything
else slots in ever so nicely giving out yet another
kick arse, the only downside to the song with
when it abruptly ends when you least expect it.
‘King For a Day’ is a killer track
and easily one of the most accessible tracks on
the album which I am sure people will come back
to the most, the track features Kelly Quinn from
Sleeping With Sirens and even if you’re
not the biggest From Sleeping With Sirens fan
you should dig this track as Quinn’s vocals
are mixed in so well and work wonders alongside
those of Vic Fuentes, overall the song has a massive
radio friendly feel about it but also manages
to keep up the massive riffs and power that everyone
is used to from Pierce The Veil.
‘Bulls In The Bronx’ is another standout
track that sounds ever so tasty indeed, it starts
off sounding like your average Pierce The Veil
song but as the song progresses towards the middle
part of the song it get’s quite progressive
with the band pulling off an Mexican style mariachi
sound and funnily enough it suits the song and
work wonders in the way that Pierce The Veil started
off with what they knew and finished the track
in a way you would never expect.
Throughout the album Pierce The Veil have invited
many special guests to join them on the album
and the biggest pleasure is hearing the world’s
most hectic front man Jason Butler from Letlive
team up with the bands in ‘Tangled In The
Great Escape’ where things sound pretty
damn intense to the point where you can easily
imagine Butler running around the studio smashing
into the walls whilst laying down his vocals.
You can easily tell that Pierce The Veil have
taken their time and put a lot of work into ‘Collide
With The Sky’ as the album is brilliant
from start to finish featuring 11 killer tracks
that you will want to listen to over and over
again, if you have never been a fan of Pierce
The Veil before now is the time to give them a
chance and take them seriously as they mean business.
4/5
