Ayo!

It’s been years since I’ve used the platform and I don’t know my login for my old one but I’m back! Not better than ever but I’ve missed this platform and now I’m existing here yet again in new fandoms, new views on the world and just a new me 🥲

A lot has changed on here so bare with me while I navigate through this and through life. This should be fun.

Fame On Fire - The Death Card

Thanks to the Punk Goes Pop series from the last fifteen years (although the Punk Goes series has been around way longer than that), a lot of bands think they can just put out a generic metalcore / post-hardcore cover of a pop song, and think they’re cool because it has screams and breakdowns in it. It worked for a couple of bands, especially I Prevail, who got big off a cover of Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space,” and Our Last Night eventually just became a glorified cover band. Whatever gets the bag, I guess, but who would want to listen to that?

Another band that started off in that lane, and still kind of leans that way, is Fame On Fire. I’ve heard of them for years now, but never bothered to check them out, because seeing a metalcore band with nothing but covers of pop songs doesn’t sound good. Maybe if I was 15, I’d think it was cool, but I’m not into those types of songs anymore. I saw that Fame On Fire dropped a couple of albums in the last four years, including a debut in 2020 and a second album in 2022, all of which are on Hopeless Records, which is interesting, because I wouldn’t expect them to sign a band like that, but I digress.

I never heard good things about them, so I never bothered, but I saw where they dropped their newest album, The Death Card, and something compelled me to check it out. I also listened to their first two albums, and needless to say, The Death Card is their best album by far, although it’s not exactly an album to write home about (but it’s still really damn good).

Their debut album, 2020’s Levels, is essentially a 2010s Risecore album that dropped in 2020, for some reason; while it isn’t bad, it’s a pretty generic album. Welcome To Chaos, however, is a messy album that really doesn’t know what it wants to be, because it goes into a few directions that never add up, such as metalcore, pop-metal, rap-metal, or hard-rock. Plus, that album also has a few really bad moments, both musically and lyrically, so they could only go up from there, right? Like I said, The Death Card isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s also quite good, especially for what it is, and sometimes that’s all you need.

The Death Card is the band’s most “serious” album, as this album is pretty straight faced, and it’s also their most focused album, as the sound lingers somewhere between Octanecore, metalcore, and hard-rock. Sure, they don’t do anything that other bands haven’t already done in that vein, but their vocalist kind of carries this thing. He carried their other two albums, too, and that’s part of the reason why they aren’t total dumpster fires, but this record is the most grounded of them all. The lyrics are easily its weakest link, but even then, they aren’t as outright awful as some of the lyrics on their first two albums, so it could be a lot worse, and for what it’s worth, this record is solid for what they’re trying to do.

There isn’t a whole lot more to say about this record, but it’s one of those albums that works for what it is. If you’re looking for an Octanecore album with some solid hooks, vocals, and a few breakdowns here and there, you’ll dig this. I’ve been going back to this a lot more than I thought I would, and I never really got into this band beforehand, but I’m having a good time with this thing. That’s surprising, considering that I’ve been listening to a couple of albums I like a lot, such as Lakeview and Keith Buckley’s new band, so this is the album that I’ve been revisiting most, but it’s just that good.
