Album:
Great debut full-length album.Icarus Falls hail from West Sussex in the UK, consisting of Doug Hay (vocals), Harvey Wigg (guitar, vocals), Lawrence Trousdale-Smith (guitar), Vinnie Denton (bass) and Josh Harris (drums). As well as having the pandemic hit their plans, Harvey is also a cancer survivor.Although this is Icarus Falls’ debut album they did release a well received EP entitled ‘Venom’ last year.Opener ‘Where Do I Begin’ fair wallops the listener’s ears, a heady mix of Those Damn Crows and Volbeat. If that didn’t shake your dandruff, then the next song ‘We Are Not The Same’ will! Featuring growling vocals from Harvey (strangely as I get older I find I can listen to ‘cookie monster’ vocals more easily), Icarus Falls go a modern metal with a few symphonic embellishments.The title track sees the band coming up with an emotively charged ballad. Loving the guitars and rhythm bombast on the chorus of this one. In Doug Hay they have a vocal powerhouse that’s for sure.Production and sound wise this album has one you’d expect of a big label, the difference being Icarus Falls aren’t signed to a big label (yet!). Listening to ‘Bleed Me Dry’ is a case in point with crisp guitar parts and a neat vocal midsection. Or the bass of Vinnie Denton weaving its magic through ‘Nine Four’.They have an airplay/playlist banger on their hands with ‘Blame’, which features a guest vocal from Bella MJR.Icarus Falls are another fine band to add to your ‘must listen’ list, as they have produced an enticing and enjoyable modern metal/hard rock album.
