Pierce the veil full album collide with the sky

Meanwhile Pierce The Veil show that they can make do without guests, providing memorable moments both in wild tracks like 'Bulls In The Bronx' - in which Fuentes shows some mariachi skills on Spanish guitar - and the rampaging and surprisingly sticky 'The First Punch' yet also in quieter numbers like 'I'm Low On Gas And You Need A Jacket' and 'Hold On Till May' both of which work out quite well. Comparatively letlive's Jason Butler's contribution to 'Tangled In The Great Escape' never really reaches the same height, despite Butler delivering a performance every bit as vivid as we're used to on his own material. Album high point 'King For A Day' combines raging instrumentals with a chorus on which Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn absolutely kills it, showing himself to have one of few voices that actually works next to Fuentes' sharp croon.

Like its predecessor, 'Collide With The Sky' stands up to closer scrutiny by combining Fuentes' omnipresent guitar flourishes with a bounty of skillfully penned refrains and interesting guest performances. The mixture is an unusual one even at its mellowest, and Fuentes' singing can get grating at time, but still, you'll be hard pressed to find bands that do anything close to what Pierce The Veil are doing. The sound is again a furious, hysterical and theatrical whirlwind of melodies from pop, beatdowns from metalcore and tempos from speedy punk, highlighted with frontman Vic Fuentes' characteristically sharp voice, moody electronics and frequent mini-soloing. This summer the band and its fans have arrived then, at the third effort 'Collide With The Sky', which to my ear is a record attempting rather to focus and refine the direction of 'Selfish Machines', more than one that sees Pierce The Veil step things a full pace forward. The result was as unique as it was exquisite so even while 2010's follow-up 'Selfish Machines' had brighter colours, increased weight and plenty of recognisable hooks to go around, for all its quality it still felt like a more mundane record the longevity of which was more debatable.

When technical pop/punk/core quartet Pierce The Veil broke through with 'A Flair For The Dramatic' back in 2007, they were a refreshing breath of fresh air into a stagnating 'emo/post-hardcore' scene, injecting artistic ambition and delicacy into a culture that was beginning to steer down the path of endless recycling of breakdowns and pseudo-metallic riffage.
