 
Over the past couple of years Sacred Mother Tongue
have slowly been making a name for themselves
by touring as much as possible including performances
at Sonisphere and Download Festival they are currently
working on their ‘Out Of The Darkness’
album which is set for release sometime in 2013
but in the meantime they have just released ‘A
Light Shines’ which happens to be a little
stop gap 4 track EP to give everyone a taste of
what is still to come.
‘A Light Shines’ opens with ‘Evolve/Become’
and right from the start Darrin Smith has you
in the palm of his hands due to his unique sounding
melodic vocals which have a knack to draw you
in the second he lays down a note, instrumentally
the song has everything from constant banging
drums, pretty powerful baselines, fast guitar
riffs and an all mouth watering guitar solo which
leaves you wanting more.
‘Bleeding Out’ carries on pretty much
where ‘Evolve/Become’ finishes off
as Sacred Mother Tongue work their magic on yet
another 4minute long melodic metal masterpiece.
‘Seven’ is just as powerful as the
previous songs.
The EP closes with ‘The City Is Crying’
a track which is recorded live from a gig in China
and it perfectly captures the powerful sound of
Sacred Mother Tongue, their interaction with the
crowd and also the reaction from the crowd.
Sacred Mother Tongue are the biggest young rising
star in the metal scene since Rise To Remain took
it by storm a couple of years ago and if this
EP is anything to go by then you should keep your
eyes closely on this talented 4 piece as if their
forthcoming album ‘Out Of The Darkness’
is anywhere as good as it promises to be then
2013 certainly will be this hard working bands
year.
4/5
