Beyond The Shore – Ghostwatcher (2013)

cover

Diving right into “Ghostwatcher” one might immediately think this is just another Metalcore/Deathcore release, but as one further explores Beyond The Shore’s music, there are quite a few interesting elements that make this release standout from the crowd. Released via Metalblade Records, this album features 10 tracks that at times are hit or miss, but there is a general sense of diversity that will keep your attention on this release.

Opening with two very vanilla tracks: “Dividers” and “Half Lived”, things really start to get interesting with the intricately crafted “Transitions”. The band delivers run of the mill Metalcore with some interesting guitar melodies and funky drum patters, making this track quite enjoyable and unexpected. The album’s first single “Homewrecker” is another very interesting piece with very tight melodic sections and cool transitions, only the vocals ruin a bit the moment.

A very interesting and odd track is “Milestone”, an electronic/acoustic interlude that weirdly breaks the monotony of this release and will surely get a ton of WTF reactions from a few people. “#Dreamkiller” is a very typical track until the killer guitar solo comes in and brings it to a whole new level, if the band only used these kinds of different elements more often we would be praising this release from beginning to end.

Saving the best song for last, “Ghostwatcher” nicely closes this very odd release. Delivering what at first seemed like uninspired Metalcore/Deathcore, Beyond The Shore manages to salvage “Ghostwatcher” with a few decent and different songs. So if you like the run of the mill Metalcore/Deathcore releases you might actually find yourself surprised with some of the quality tracks presented in this album.
