Formulaic metalcore
Witness The Fall's EP is 6 songs absolutely crammed full of intricate guitar work and melodies that immediately bring to mind bands such as Bullet For My Valentine, without the clean vocals. Every song has a full depth of sound topped with weaving guitar solos and throbbing growled vocals; positioning the band squarely in the heavy metalcore genre.
'The Dying Art of Integrity' puts a touch more emphasis on the vocals, but on the whole every track follows the tried and true formula of screaming guitars over thundering beats and angry growls interspersed with strong guitar solos. A few tracks make use of the muted vocals, sounding like you're overhearing a private conversation or broadcast, 'Righteous Kill' being one that features this style strongly.
The Dumfries quintet close the EP with 'Darkest Hour (No Surrender)' another strong song, featuring again an intricate melodic guitar solo and more thundering beats.
Which leads to the only criticism for Witness The Fall, and it is that it took a long time and a lot of listening to find the differences between the 6 tracks. There is a tendency towards the formulaic style which results in the songs, on the surface, sounding the same.
