Kingston Falls - Crusader

Review by Vermont Lanterns

Kingston Falls' third album, Crusader, is a hard-hitting and emotionally charged record that showcases the band's evolution and maturity. The album features 11 tracks that blend elements of metalcore, hardcore, and punk rock to create a sound that is both aggressive and melodic.

From the opening track, "The Infection," to the closing song, "The Executioner," Crusader is a relentless assault on the senses. The band's signature breakdowns and heavy riffs are still present, but they are complemented by more intricate guitar work and dynamic song structures.

Lyrically, Crusader is a concept album that explores themes of redemption, faith, and sacrifice. The songs are introspective and personal, yet they also have a universal message that is sure to resonate with listeners.

One standout track is "The Harlot," which features guest vocals from Cory Brandan of Norma Jean. The song is a blistering indictment of the hypocrisy and corruption that can be found in organized religion.

Summary by Vermont Lanterns

Crusader is a powerful and impressive album that showcases Kingston Falls' growth as musicians and songwriters. Fans of heavy music will not be disappointed.
