Threering is an American progressive metal band from Las Vegas, Nevada. The band recently released My Last Words which is the band's fifth album. They said, “This is our fifth album, and we're trying to make a little bit of a departure from the heavier sound of the last record.” On that note this album is exactly light. There is plenty of rocking out to go around.
I remember hearing their previous release and was impressed. I’ll admit I was a big fan of metal bands in the ’80s and early ‘90s like Guns N' Roses and Mötley Crüe so it was an easy album for me to enjoy. There is just no denying if you are a fan of the era of rock you will most likely be a big fan. The band just has that sound from the vocals to rip roaring guitar solos. The band gets rolling with “Dying Light.” They play into a dramatic intro with piano, atmosphere and heavy lead guitar. The band starts to rock heavily if you ask me but they bring it down just as quickly. Once the vocals came in I was thinking of those rock operas they used to have back in the day. The vocalist sounds like he’s from a different era. “Eleven” is a little more straightforward all things considered. The band finds an infectious chorus and thoroughly rock out for most of the songs besides the breakdown towards the end. As the album progresses the band is consistent. The songs don’t disappoint. That being said I thought there were some highlights such as “Black Letter.” I would say there is only one song that felt like a ballad and that was the last song “The Fifteen.” The band definitely goes for epic rights on this release. There are some soaring peaks here that the band reaches on a musical and emotional level. Take a listen.
