Search - From the Icy Coast :: End of the Line

From the Icy Coast offers a refreshing new sound from a saturated "nu-metal" scene. Their album "End of the Line" is a great beginning, and the debut effort from these up and comers. It starts off with an ambient, downbeat feel, but quickly builds into "Fall Awake", which could be described with the two words; "haunted" and "heavy". It has the kind of radio hooks that will get this band noticed. Moving on to "Frequency", this is a shining example of their work, and easily one of my favorites. Subdued vocals, guitar laced synth work, and a driving, minimal beat around which the rest of the arrangement can wrap itself with ease. End of the Line quickly begins to simmer until the speakers are sizzling with a big atmospheric rock vibe that has commercial radio breakthrough seemingly written into all aspects of their work. Other highlights include "When You Have Wings", "Just Like You", and "Wraith". Keep your eye to the North. From the "Icy Coast" comes some great music.
