What do you get when Blind Witness and Despised Icon mate? You get Obey the Brave.
I'm not sure how long they've been a band, but with ex. members of both Despised Icon and Blind Witness, I'm sure they gained attention real quick.
Leaded by Alex Erian, ex. vocalist for Despised Icon (RIP:(), Obey the Brave looks to be a fresh newcomer in the genre of Hardcore. With typical hardcore lyrics, the band's slogan speaks for itself.
"Not trying to reinvent the wheel.We keep it simple. We keep it real."
Man, Alex went from super-paced metal to hardcore, I really like his voice. It's perfect for this type of hardcore. I wonder if we'll be hearing more of his metal side in new songs, or will he stick to this new style of hardcore. I also wonder whose influence (Despised Icon or BW) will shine brighter in the writing process. Anyways, on to the video.....
This video contains all the typical ingredients to make a pot of hardcore stew. From the gangster walking, to the stomps in the breakdown, and even to the pit bull, this video has it all. Is it anything new? Nope. But is it anything special? Yes. I'm so glad that Alex is making music again for he was defiantly one of my favorite vocalists of all time. And with ex shredders from Blind Witness, holy crap.
It is very safe to say that I and easily anyone who loves metal/hardcore is very eager to hear whats in store for Obey the Brave in the near future.
