Within The Ruins' latest album, Elite, is a masterful display of technical metalcore. The band has always been known for their intricate musicianship and precise execution, and Elite takes these qualities to the next level.
From the opening track, "Terminal," it's clear that Within The Ruins means business. The song starts with a flurry of riffs and blast beats, setting the tone for the rest of the album. Throughout the record, the band showcases their ability to seamlessly blend complex guitar work with punishing breakdowns and relentless drumming.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Feast or Famine," which features guest vocalist Tim Goergen of Fit For An Autopsy. The song is a perfect example of Within The Ruins' ability to craft a memorable chorus while still maintaining their technical prowess.
Another highlight is "New Holy War," which features some of the most impressive guitar work on the album. The song's intricate melody lines and blistering solos are a testament to the band's skill as musicians.
