User Album Review
Flaw look to knock down the doors of the mainstream once again as they are set to release their new album, Divided We Fall. Met with the lineup of Volz, Daunt, Bassist Ryan Jurhs, and new Drummer Corey Sturgill, Divided We Fall is the band’s first studio record in seven years. Taking the struggles they experienced throughout the years and using them to mold their sound today, Flaw showcases meaty guitar pieces, thrashing drums, and both melodic and snarling vocals to create Rock songs that dive deeper than just anger or frustration at the world.
Opening up with spoken statistics of military veteran suicides, “Fed Up” is a song with a purpose as weighty beats and growling vocals combine with crashing drums for an angry sound. Then, “Do You Remember” continues on with the heavy beat, although Volz vocals come in more gently. Known for profound lyrics, amidst the seriousness of the song, the tempo evolves into one of hope. Keeping the emotions flowing, “Fatal Fall” is introduced with gritty guitars and haunting echoing vocal, creating a melancholic feeling. Not keeping the mood too mellow, “Live And Breathe” comes in with energetic drumming and more textured guitar work as fast growling vocals alternate with gentler singing for a contrast Volz has developed beautifully over the years.
An overdue return, Flaw’s Divided We Fall is an album that clearly has passion injected in to each track. Deep, personal stories are mixed with rough guitars and dual vocal styles to create multiple layers on each song. Many would say this album is the missing link in Flaw’s history, with that said, better late than never.
