Artist description Metalcore is not a dirty word anymore... At War With Shadows is pure proof you don't have to be "over the top" in order to strive in the "metalcore" genre. We keep it simple and effective. We feel there is no need for extravagant "spazzy" parts or tiresome signsongy vocals to show off our emotion. We play with compassion. Every word screamed, every string picked, and every drum hit, is done with more purpose than to just be the 'next big thing' or the flavor of the week. We love what we do.

Press Reviews Lariat / At War With Shadows - Split CD-------------------------------http://www.smother.net-------------------Coming from Devils Headquarters Records (home to the popular Aftershock and Nothing Stays Gold) Lariat offers much of what to expect from this great label-fast and hard-hitting heaviness with more than any hard music fan should expect. Both Lariat and At War with Shadows come from New York state and it's no wonder that New York is a mean state cuz this is just sick! Metalcore at its finest and you wonder what genius is behind Devils Headquarters. The fact that they can get such a great roster together consistently and put out stellar albums blows my mind. Thunder has struck and it is At War with Shadows. Super fast double bass is augmented by destructive guitar and the commanding presence of one of the best throat-rippers this side of Jacob Converge. "Let Go" pursues those of who like melody along with our heavy destruction with its beautiful guitar intro leading into the depths of pure abandonment. Thank you goes out to Devils Headquarters for getting me into two more great bands. Oh and if you haven't realized this yet…BUY IT NOW!----------newmetal.com----------Truly an indespensable hardcore metal album featuring two equally brutal bands: Lariat and At War With Shadows. Ultra-chunk guitars and healthy double bass accompany a bass-heavy mix with screaming vocals throughout. A must have.
