I haven't seen this review here, so I'm hoping it's new. It's got the label listed as Seraph/Saraph, so it has to be fairly recent...
Do Not Be Afraid EP (Seraph/Saraph, www.veilmaker.net)
This is an odd and difficult EP to review, because Veil Maker, while being a really talented, exciting band, are just too all over the place to really get a handle on any particular sound. For example, the first track, “Coral Landing,” begins with dark, sludgy guitar nu-metal riffs, which eventually transform into xylophones for an indie-style chorus which then slips into an emo-ish breakdown. The band expertly makes the ruckus sound cohesive, but some listeners may not be satisfied by the random-shuffle style. I admit it’s a difficult argument to make, because diversity in music should be celebrated and Veil Maker is nothing if not adventurous. But when the high-octane screamo track “Dirt Veins” leads into the Bedhead-like intro of “Ashen Prayer Beads”, for example, it just saps the momentum of the EP, which later jumps randomly into Green Day-like punk rock. I suppose what it all comes down to is that like anyone else, sometimes you just want to rock… so just give me from 2:13 to 4:39 on “The Realm of Ends” and I’ll be happy. -Tyrone Warner

i must say, i never thought of dirt veins as screamo... i seem to remember at least one other review mentioning screaming too, which is odd, as there's practically none on the album.

There is no screamo. I don't get it, either.
Definitely EMO, though. You guys are like, so in tune with your emotions and stuff.

Where does this review come from? It seems awkwardly written.
Also, Green Day WTF???
Was it written by a high school student??
