The Innocence Of Crime - Dark Sides Of Living

Review by Gabrielle Mortier

Innocence Of Crime's latest album, Dark Sides Of Living, is a haunting and emotional journey through the depths of the human psyche. The band's unique blend of alternative rock and metal creates a sound that is both heavy and introspective, with lyrics that explore themes of loss, pain, and redemption.

From the opening track, "Broken Wings," the listener is drawn into a world of raw emotion and vulnerability. The powerful vocals of lead singer, Emily, are a highlight throughout the album, conveying a sense of pain and longing that is palpable.

Songs like "Bleed for Me" and "Echoes of the Past" showcase the band's ability to create heavy, driving rhythms that are both catchy and emotionally charged. The guitar work is also impressive, with intricate riffs and solos that add depth and texture to the overall sound.

But it's the slower, more introspective tracks like "In This Darkness" and "Lament" that truly showcase the band's talent for crafting deeply moving, poignant songs. The stripped-down instrumentation and haunting vocals create a sense of intimacy that is both heartbreaking and beautiful.
