Tonight's tasty riffage comes courtesy of Westfield, MA's Within Ruins from their latest disc, the forthcoming Phenomena.
"Gods Amongst Men" is hardly reinventing the wheel: the riffing is vaguely (but inoffensively) djenty, the drumming is pretty -core, and the vocalist sounds like a bunch of different guys a bunch of different times. But this one's definitely a case of being greater than the sum of its constituent parts.
I'm not the hugest fan of the super-compressed guitar tone, but other than that this could be a great As I Lay Dying song that never was, if AILD had the occasional bit of bloopiness. If nothing else, "Gods Among Men" is proof that there are still bands making metalcore out there, and at least some it is worth listening to.
