I’m really getting tired of metalcore. Whether or not it’s the bands talent isn’t the issue. What I’m tired of are all the “core” kids who feel it entirely necessary to rip on the genre and dub it “mallcore”, “fashioncore”, or some other ridiculous thing; after all, kids who have enough time to spend dissing bands probably don’t do much else with their insecure lives. But back to This Moment. They employ your standard breaky metalcore stuff with melodic parts and heavy beatdown riffs that twist and climb forth. Produced by Paul Miner of Atreyu, Thrice, and Death by Stereo fame, “Finding a Voice in the Dark” is an attempt by a band to try to find a handhold in an already bloated genre. If I was in this band I’d suggest that they stick with the screamy parts more as the melodic singing just hits off notes all too often.
