Album Description
Available in:
"No Sleep" is the second full length studio album from American metalcore band Volumes, released on July 15, 2014. It is the last album to feature founding member (and co-vocalist) Michael Barr and the last to be released under the label Mediaskare Records.
Along with their 2011 release Via, the album was re-released in 2016 independently under the 91367 Records moniker, remastered and with a new cover.
User Album Review
No Sleep is somewhat of a perturbing listen. While Volumes hasn't been around for a long period of time, the sound solidified on their past two releases has been the technical metalcore genre, which can be incredibly one-dimensional. This album marks the beginning of the band attempting to embrace more dynamic influences, resulting in a somewhat startling listen for people that were previously acquainted with the band. Instead of ten tracks of endless chugging and a largely monotonous sound, No Sleep boasts a good amount of atmosphere and melody injected into the affair. It's certainly all the better for it, as the soaring cleans are strong enough to hold their own against the brutal screams that they are often matched up with. However, this isn't the biggest transition in terms of Volumes' sound; third track "Erased" starts out with gentle, melodic guitars that build up to a frenzied breakdown that still doesn't completely lose sight of the melody that began the song. It's quite surprising that the djent guitar tone used liberally in the past doesn't overtake the small atmospheric choices that the band has made on this album, and they have obviously opted for a much natural songwriting structure. Rather than juxtaposing endless breakdowns each song with misplaced-sounding clean choruses, the band simply slows down for effect when necessary and allows the heavier sections to be much more cathartic than on past releases. --- sputnikmusic.com
