n a combination of talent and emotion based on the history of the members of the band- Brian Cahoon (guitar), Erik Ellis (bass), Jeff Knemeyer (vox), Tyler Fortner (drums), Shad Harlan (guitar)- who have all had someone close to them taken away through suicide, prompting the name of the band itself. Starting out, the anger of "Die" calls out The Negative everywhere and forces it to its knees before the reserved strength and well- handled guitar solos of "My Savior" guides you down the path of harnessing your own inner power through positive thought and self- dependence. "Belittled" carries the halfway point, railing against domestic disturbance as "Fear No Evil" hangs close on its heels with an intro like Eric Draven wailing on the rooftops leading into seamless change- ups in speed and vocals throughout, walking you through the fires to the final track "Sorrow", which shines through as a powerful and soul- searching ballad displaying the musical skill that one hopes will carry this band far into the future.

Suicide Lies: Demo Review By Ninja
Although Metal is a common occurrence the world over, it has been proven time and again that my home soil of the Pacific Northwest is a particularly fertile ground for music and wild enough still to produce varietal evolution in the growth of the genre. Case in point, the band Suicide Lies from Cashmere, Washington. Despite having been together for only a short time, it's clear from this demo that time has no effect on the passion to play, being a solid creation based o

My Own Private Alaska - Amen (Album Review By Ninja)
"You know, I'm fucked- I feel no force in me, you know, at the end of the song...". The feelings of vocalist Matthiew "Milka" Miegeville as expressed at the end of "Anchorage" is what every serious musician should feel at the end of their creation. Along with bandmates Tristan Mocquet decimating the ivories and Yohan Hennequin superhuman on drums, there has been brought to life an album where every song, every song title speaks my life and I am entranced and amazed, one after the other, drowning in my own thoughts and feelings, my own force merging with this entity as I immerse myself in these sonic overtures and I am near to tears through the memories brought to the surfaces of my many seas at the call of the music, sounds and words that mirror the development of my own psyche; Hard, angry and slightly mystical in its discordance, this is not "Experimental"- this is a deliberate communication from the universe to all those willing to listen.
