The Safety Fire - Mouth of Swords

Goodness, I'm impressed with this track from the UK group, The Safety Fire. Before you begin asking, yes, I have found another group who is already broken up. Life is lame sometimes.

I very much enjoy the progressive mathcore/heavier alt rock stype they display and their full length, Mouth of Swords is a pretty epic album. Personally, I absolutely bands that can pull off this kind of music without feeling forced to blindly scream. Is there such a term of pitched screaming? Vocalist Sean McWeeney rocks it. Another track is below

I wonder who will fill this sudden music void in my life....

Red Hatchet by The Safety Fire - I feel like going in a prog direction this week musically.  While most of the prog metal genre tends toward random noodling and navel gazing musical masturbation, there are some acts that realize the goal is to write music people want to listen to.  UK prog band The Safety Fire get that.

I heard the title track of their 2013 album Mouth of Swords recently.  And I am a complete hypocrite because there is plenty of guitar noodling included.  But instead of distracting from the listening experience, it adds to it.  The single Red Hatchet is the best track on the album that at times makes me think Dillinger Escape Plan, which I guess is why I like it so much.

NOTE: I tried to share this tune from Soundcloud, which totally failed. Not sure what gives there...

Red Hatchet by The Safety Fire.

I can never stop going back to this song, it's a lot to take in on the first listen or two but it's infinitely catchy once you're familiar with it. Saw these guys with Protest the Hero in Raleigh. I've become real fond of Protest lately but these guys were my favorite, their sound is clean and heavy, THEY'RE FUCKING PLAYING TELECASTERS?? Very cool. The heavy interlude with the clean guitar in the back starting around 3:10 is choice.
