Armor For Sleep
What To Do When You Are Dead
Equal Vision CD
"I started feeling bad for myself today / But then I stopped 'cause I don't care / I'm dreaming less and sleeping more / But I'll sell my soul for the dream you stole."*
If only every band can progress like Armor For Sleep. The evolution from their debut Dream To Make Believe to What To Do When You Are Dead is simply remarkable. Diverse. Rich. Powerful. Armor For Sleep's new album, a concept dealing with life after death, entices and invigorates the ears with burning melodic-rock.
Now this is passion.
Imagine a potent merge between Recover and Spitalfield. Armor For Sleep's layered guitars command track after track with catchy, refreshing rock that remains fascinating spin after spin. The concept throughout What To Do When You Are Dead is centered around an individual's death, and then following the ghost form from heaven back to earth, wandering brokenhearted and lonely (there's even a "Comprehensive Guide To Your Afterlife" handbook enclosed separately within the release). Artistically, from the amazing graphic design layout, to the fascinating conceptual lyrics, to weaving sticky webs of melodic-rock around the listener, Armor For Sleep's newest offering is superb.
There's not one weak track on What To Do When You Are Dead. Produced by Machine (Lamb of God, White Zombie, Clutch.and yes, mainly just heavy music, until now), What To Do When You Are Dead is a great sounding album that deserves your attention.
Armor For Sleep will breath life into your deadened rock soul. After one spin, you'll not want to listen to anything else.
