Comes With The Fall
Beyond The Last Light
Like Soundgarden and Hendrix in a street fight with The MC5.
You may know William DuVall as the new lead singer of Alice In Chains, but his vicious power trio, Comes With The Fall, has been releasing dynamic, visionary records and burning down stages with their incendiary live shows for the past seven years. Their fourth full-length album, BEYOND THE LAST LIGHT, captures them at their loftiest creative peak yet.
Coming on like Soundgarden and Hendrix in a street fight with The MC5, BEYOND THE LAST LIGHT somehow manages to be as cinematic as it is rough and ready. From the opening blast of "Rockslide" (a new millennium rock anthem if ever there was one) to the Zeppelinesque bacchanalia of the epic "Black Cross" (the album's six minute emotional centerpiece) to the haunted big-beat power pop of "White Hot," the scorched earth balladry of "Still Got A Hold On My Heart," and the brutal stomp of tracks like "Beautiful Destroyer," "Fire Come Down," and "Pale Horse Rider," the album rages with the apocalyptic paranoia and hard-won hope that is life in the early 2000s.
BEYOND THE LAST LIGHT is all death trip guitars, cannon crash drums, clarion vocals, and warrior soul poetry fused to create the kind of feast super-rock fans have been fiending for years to hear. A must-have for connoisseurs of the truly badass.
