War of Ages continues their quest to conquer mediocre Christianity by writing good-heavy music and filling the night with sweaty-energetic-circle pits! Needless to say, these guys are definitely not on cruise control. Their live shows are roudy and creates the perfect atmosphere for stage diving and circle pit action. Their music has become more polished with each album over the past 2-3 years but their song writing is still intact and you can always count of their guitar work to be aromatic with bionic finger movement. Nevertheless, War of Ages’ music is well written and certainly not garbage.
Return to Life is the follow up album to Eternal(2010), which turned a lot of heads while marking a turning point for War of Ages. Silent Night is the RTL's first single. Immortal is an album opener that grips you by the ears. Redeemer is listener friendly and the vocals are catchy enough to occupy your head for the rest of the day. M.E.B. is where the album takes a quick breather by throwing in an instrumental. Unite closes the album with a circle pit friendly jam!
To continue their on-going “War” theme, the album artwork is striking and brave! Return to Life is full of gang vocals, laments, and the clean vocal work accompanies the heavy screams by vocalist Leroy Hamp. No doubt, this band has earned their reputation in the Christian hardcore scene, and they have done it passionately, and fair!
Pick up a copy of Return to Life. Play it LOUD!
