I'd like to preface this review with an apology for my absence. I'm sure that I will be more active on here as I thoroughly enjoy writing these reviews, and I want to keep writing these for you. I have several albums in waiting, so stay tuned for those.
Starting off this month of reviews, I bring the deluxe version of Through Fire's debut album: Breathe. I first discovered this album and the band when Spotify recommended their rendition of Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts", and it's one of my favourite songs on the album. This album is filled with songs that, while sticking to the rock genre, create a whole variety of feelings and tones. Breathe proves that Through Fire has incredible potential for future albums.
When I first listened to "Jar of Hearts", it reminded me a lot about Skillet and their albums, which helped me know that these songs were going to be something I was going to enjoy, and I did. I soon learned that Through Fire had their own style and even then, it was impeccable. Some of the songs, like "Dead Inside" and "Blood On My Hands", didn't intrigue me as much as some of the other songs. I also prefer the extended version of the songs "Stronger" and "Breathe". Other tracks had me listening to them for ages. "Where You Lie" and "Damage" had me coming right back for more. With the release of their new album, All Animal, I released that the songs on this album are not as hard-hitting as those on the newer album, but that doesn't stop me and shouldn't stop you from head banging the day away listening to them.
In conclusion, Through Fire offers an amazing debut album jam-packed with songs that will make you go "woah". With an opening like this, Breathe is sure to keep you listening and should make you hopeful for their future material. All in all, a really good album.
Favourite Tracks: "Where You Lie", "Damage", "Jar of Hearts",
"Stronger - Extended Version", "Breathe - Extended Version"
