Music reviews of Four Wall Blackmail
Music Review: The Nomenclature Of Emocore
Rating: 5 Stars
"Bleed one more time for me. Cause my heart is filled with loneliness. And this world is filled with loneliness." This is a Solid State band? A hasty first impression of Dead Poetic would shadow another Dashboard Confessional clone. The sweaters, flowing hair, and soulful whines of frontman Brandon Rike seem to imply nothing more than, at best, a carbon copy of Thursday. However, a quick listen to their debut album, "Four Wall Blackmail", will negate all such accusations. Brandon's vocals tend to lean on the emo side of Sean Corbray (Embodyment) or Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw) rather than Chris Carrabba. Even more satisfying are his frequent departures into Dan Weyandt (Zao) territory by means of glass shattering screams to accompany his soulful cries of passion. Backing up Rike is a group of musicians who do not excel beyond comparison, but have a unity which crafts a sound that is exceptionally cordial. Any music fan would prefer a band that is able to write music as a whole, than several separate entities driving their ego's above the zeal of their music. Dead Poetic can slice through hardcore rants ("Corporate Enthusiast"), and cry for pity with unmatched remorse ("Bliss Tearing Eyes") with incredible fervor. Lyrically, Brandon surpasses every other emo frontman to date. His desperate cries pooled with murderous screams create the most emotional environment one man can create, and rightfully so. This amount of ardor can only befall a human through supernatural grace. Rike cries not for another human, but for a Being so beyond he, that nothing can be said but, "I can't forgive myself for all the things I've done. But you, you do." This kind of oxy-moronic, sorrowful class of thankfulness can only be initiated by a spotless Divinity of which few truly know. Remote are discoveries of groups of individuals with real emotions residing upon the only real foundation. Unlike their secular counterparts, these poets have confirmed that their spirits are far from dead.
