Album Description
Available in:
"Still Life" was American Standards' first official release. The seven-song album was initially released independently by the band June 30, 2012, online and in select stores.
Still Life solidified the band's attention to well-crafted, thought-provoking lyrics with its opening track, "Self Entitled" being a stripped-down monologue centered around materialism, greed and elitist mentalities.
After release, the net label Torn Flesh Records began working with the band to increase its online distribution and the band continued to tour the US extensively to support the album. This is when American Standards announced its signing to We Are Triumphant and the re-release of Still Life with Victory Records backing its distribution through SONY/RED. The rerelease occurred on December 3. This became the last release with the band's original lineup, with Cody Conrad (guitarist) leaving shortly after.
User Album Review
I was sceptical when I first picked up their “Still Life” album. That feeling didn’t last long, I was quickly won over, yet even after listening to the seven-track EP twice I wasn’t sure exactly what drew me in. They’re certainly deeper into the growling, chaotic, overwhelming style of metal. It’s intense, it is high energy and their lead singer sometimes sounds as though he’s been possessed by demonic howler monkeys.
And yet, between the waves of unrestrained blasts of sound are moments of near calm. There are moments of, dare I say, elegance mixed into Still Life. Listening to this album is like riding out a hurricane; coming into the eye of the storm and then being thrust back into the wild winds to be beaten and tumbled about until another smooth patch comes along. Perhaps that is what keeps me coming back to hear this album over again, the intense combination of raw, unleashed chaos and the brief snatches of harmony. Hearing their music is like finding a water fountain in the middle of a battlefield — curious, intriguing; a flash of beauty amid a tumultuous battle. --- welovemetal.com
