It’s mundane…plain and simple, the song writing is just nowhere near to what it has been with their previous efforts. III: In the eyes of fire, is nothing new. These guys are capable of being so much more innovative, and reach beyond the simple moshmetal formula that bands started writing 10 years ago, and is still being carbon copied every minute of every day. However, this genre of music is becoming very force-fed and unoriginal. Unearth is not a bad band by any means, having displayed much talent over their journey from the unknown, to one of the leading hot new “metal” bands in the music industry today. Slick solos, catchy, almost pop hooks, sick mosh parts and inspirational…if you want to call them that lyrics that I’m sure tons of 18 year old kids with floppy hair can identify with.

Unearths new record, “in the eyes of fire”, is exactly what I expected it to be when I sat down to review it. Where most hardcore bands of 6 years ago turn in the chugs for some dude that can shred. Everyone who likes “heavy music” is quickly becoming aware of the new wave of terrible fashion that co-exists with the new breed of “extreme” music.
