Switzerland's Die By Design have been together since 2003 and in the time
the band have been together they have toured with Strike Anywhere, Converge,
Tribute To Nothing which has helped the band clock up a steady fan base.
Die By Design are now releasing their debut album 'Now It Starts to Make
Sense' on Mother Should Know Records.
Die By Designs sound is hardcore mixed with a bit of metal and a duel
assault of vocals. The album opens with 'Burn Well my Dear' which starts
with a heavy metal riff and hardcore shouted vocals which mix well with
the more sing a long vocals which make for a powerful start to the album.
'A Silhouette' is a huge song with immense guitar work and the mixed vocals
sounding huge working together. The introduction to 'Fear No Ghosts' is
stunning and show this band know how to make a noise and maintain a catchy
vibe at the same time.
'For A Second' starts with an assault of hardcore vocals before the guitars
kick in, but it’s not long until the mellow vocals come in with
the hardcore vocals shouting over the top. 'Plastic Mosquito' is a rocking
track and focuses more on the bands instrument playing rather than the
vocals, and these guys sure know how to hit some killer riffs.
The album finishes with 'Sinners' which is a fast energetic song full
of noise for the first half and then mellows down to slow drumbeats and
spookily quiet vocals that get louder on every drum beat, finishing the
album nicely.
The good thing about Die By Design is the fact they are so talented and
have produced an album where each song sounds different from the last
and the more you listen to each song the more you are going to get into
it and enjoy this album. I’m sure it won’t be long until Die
By Design unleash their sound on the road in England.
4/5
