Reckoning Hour is a modern technical/progressive/melodic metalcore band that caught my attention through Metalhead Community Submissions. With their song 'Away From the Sun' from the album 'Beyond Conviction,' released in 2019, they prove to be a force to be reckoned with. Brace yourself, as the monstrous opening riff will undoubtedly blow your mind. It certainly drew me in, prompting me to listen to the song multiple times before forming my verdict.
The overall style of 'Away From the Sun' immediately brought to mind the influential band Killswitch Engage. Powerful technical riffs, growling vocals in the verses, and melodic choruses have become a signature sound for them and have left an indelible mark on countless musicians. 'Away From the Sun' is a fantastic song that offers a myriad of captivating elements, riffs, and ideas. Given their impressive abilities, I would guide Reckoning Hour more towards modern progressive metal. With the right direction, they have the potential to carve out their own unique sound and style, paving the way for future global success.
It is important to note that the aforementioned points are not just criticisms, but rather suggestions for improvement. The music landscape is saturated with bands following the same songwriting formula, which can feel monotonous. Reckoning Hour, while displaying the same pattern, possesses the potential to break free from these conventions and deliver something truly exceptional.
Technically, 'Away From the Sun' demonstrates exceptional standards in every aspect. The song boasts an incredible production quality that is clean, clear, and powerful. The instrumentation is skillfully balanced, engineered, and polished, resulting in a top-class job. The collaboration with their producer, although unknown to me, has proven to be fruitful. The producer understood the band's potential and desires, ultimately contributing to the creation of their monstrous sound.
Taking all these factors into account, I am genuinely impressed by the potential of Reckoning Hour. They possess remarkable musicianship skills and creativity. It is crucial for them to continue listening to themselves and allow time to guide their music in the right direction.
