Eyes Set to Kill

Eyes Set to Kill 雛形成立于2004年的Phoenix, AZ，是個(gè)很年輕的團(tuán)體，開始樂隊(duì)只有Alexia Rodriguez (Lead Guitar, Vocals), Anissa Rodriguez (Bass Guitar), 和Lindsey Vogt (Lead Vocals)3個(gè)人，以其旋律感很強(qiáng)的歌特女聲和撕心的獸吼文明，再加上嫻熟的post-hardcore 演奏技巧，樂隊(duì)在當(dāng)?shù)匦∮忻麣?，并且在?dāng)?shù)貜V納出色樂手并且征集樂隊(duì)名字，為了能讓他們?cè)诋?dāng)?shù)氐臉逢?duì)中脫穎而出，但由于性別歧視等原因，他們也遇見了很多困惑，即使他們很有才華和潛力，樂隊(duì)被很多無知的人定性并拒絕，她們的DEMO也無人問津。但是憑著他們奮斗產(chǎn)生的永恒的聲音，樂隊(duì)終于在05年中旬找到了她們終于找到了自己的聽眾，并與很多類似于Chiodos, Bless the Fall, Goodbye Tomorrow, My American Heart, and Greeley Estates等樂隊(duì)進(jìn)行了巡演.
　　這些巡演只是短暫的，在接下來的幾個(gè)月里，樂隊(duì)在陣容上再次變動(dòng)，在06年初，三位先生加入了樂隊(duì)，使Eyes Set to Kill煥然一新Alex Torres, (Guitar), Brandon Anderson (Vocals), 和Brett Litzler (Drums) 毫不遲疑的加入了這個(gè)女子團(tuán)體，使樂隊(duì)從失去團(tuán)員的低潮中重新振作，并且發(fā)行了他們第1張EP，為了從其他樂隊(duì)中脫穎而出，樂隊(duì)不停的奮斗著，當(dāng)情緒化的吼叫震動(dòng)著聽眾的耳膜時(shí)，旋律化的吉他RIFF象洪水一樣涌入聽眾的耳朵，這給聽眾留下 了難忘的感覺！
　　Eyes Set to Kill是一支來自Arizona州Phoenix的post-hardcore樂隊(duì).他們擁有旋律化的吉它演奏和幾乎不間斷的雙貝斯踏板演奏,由一位與Paramore的Hayley Williams類似的高音女聲主唱帶領(lǐng).盡管她在這張專輯中幾乎并不嘶吼,但卻由他們的鍵盤手負(fù)責(zé)咆哮,同時(shí)還有他的鋼琴獨(dú)奏(Solos).這支樂隊(duì)相當(dāng)獨(dú)特地由3男3女組成,共同創(chuàng)作出精彩的音樂.
　　他們的首張專輯When Silence is Broken the Night is Torn共有9首歌,其中一首為鋼琴間奏(Interlude)還有一首為開場(chǎng)曲(Intro).盡管這張專輯的時(shí)間與Atreyu最近一張的精彩不斷精選專輯相當(dāng),但選擇Eyes Set to Kill要?jiǎng)澦愕枚?因?yàn)檫@張專輯同時(shí)還附有一張DVD.這張專輯在音樂上并沒有太多的獨(dú)創(chuàng)性,這支由女聲主唱帶領(lǐng)的樂隊(duì)雖然風(fēng)格與Emery相似,但他們卻似乎做得更好.主唱Lindsey Vogt擁有撫慰人心的嗓音,這使得他們的音樂更具可塑性.她嗓音的唯一問題是當(dāng)她唱到高音時(shí),她在嗓音加入了某種效果,這讓聲音聽起來幾乎要破裂一樣.初聽專輯的第一首歌,這可能令人難以忍受,但在聽過她在歌曲中所有的音都加入了這種效果后,感覺并不壞.
　　Alexia Rodriguez是一個(gè)很棒的主音吉它手.專輯中所有的圖畫都是她的杰作.在這張新專輯中, 她充分發(fā)揮了她的吉它小段(Guitar Licks),演奏甚至超過Hawthorne Heights之類的主流樂隊(duì).音樂所配寫的詞作也相當(dāng)出色.強(qiáng)烈建議你在聽完專輯后捧起歌詞冊(cè)子再回味一遍.這些概念不是什么新鮮的東西,但他們?cè)诠狞c(diǎn)節(jié)奏(Breakdown)之中賦予了音樂生命.“Liar in The Glass”和“Pure White Lace”是他們歌詞佳作的最好證明.
　　隨著西海岸的post-hardcore不斷擴(kuò)展,看到還存在著優(yōu)秀的新生樂隊(duì)是一件很好的事情.Eyes Set to Kill保持融合了Paramore和Escape The Fate的風(fēng)格.隨著專輯When Silence is Broken the Night is Torn的發(fā)行,這些男孩女孩們將跨入主流樂隊(duì)之列.他們明暗交織的和聲配合充滿hardcore風(fēng)格的音樂終會(huì)使他們一鳴驚人
Formed in 2004 by sisters Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez, Arizona's Eyes Set to Kill set out to create their own take on the screamo genre. To fill out the lineup, vocalist and guitarist Alexia Rodriguez and bassist Anissa Rodriguez recruited vocalist and synth player Brandon Anderson, guitarist Greg Kerwin, and drummer Caleb Clifton. The group combines the driving emotion of Thursday and Thrice with technical hardcore reminiscent of Walls of Jericho and Poison the Well. The result is a fusion of the heavy and the melodic, with Alexia Rodriguez's vocals soaring high over the thunder of chugging guitars and Anderson's tortured screaming, creating a sound that expands the boundaries of the genre, moving away from the screamo blueprint. The year 2006 was a busy one, with the group self-releasing the EP When the Silence Is Broken the Night Is Torn as well as playing dates on the Vans Warped Tour. In 2008 the band released its full-length debut, Reach, on Breaksilence Records, and set out on a nationwide tour in support of Otep.
