Things Fall Apart - 2013 - "All Of My Friends Hate Your Band"

Things Fall Apart are a screamo band from Colombus Ohio. They play a very heavy, doom metal influenced brand of screamo. "All Of My Friends Hate Your Band" is their fifth release. The songwriting style is fairly straight ahead screamo except there is a focus on being as heavy as possible. It transforms the songs from the frantic, punk based screamo into an incredibly heavy doom metal beast that is still agile enough to squish you like a bug.






The first two songs, You Didn't Leave Me Any Foot Steps To Follow In pt.2 and You Didn't Leave Me Any Foot Steps To Follow In pt.3 are excellent and set the standard for the rest of the album. If those songs don't drag you into their dark heavy world then this whole thing is a wash but if those two songs hit the spot then this whole album is pure gold.
