From Aphony – Builders, Wreckers, Lovers And Takers

March 12, 2006 By Bryce Jacobson 4 Comments

From Aphony

Artist: From Aphony
Album: Builders, Wreckers, Lovers And Takers
Label: Less Avenged
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: November 8, 2005

Overall: 6.0
Music: 6.4
Lyrics: 5.8
Production: 7.2

Young is a good way to describe From Aphony. But this doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing. With some heavy breakdowns intense screaming and enough energy to power an intense show From Aphony’s debut is a hard mix packed into 11 tracks. “Builders Wreckers Lovers and Takers” introduces us to the bands sound. The song includes many breakdowns as well as a lot of intense secondary guitar work. Jakes vocals come off very soft for this music, but compliment it as well not making them sound like every other band out there trying to mix the hardcore sound with a softer vocal side. “Result Of A Murder” I believe is the best mixed song on this album. Its intense breakdowns with heavy drum and bass add up for an overall great song. Throughout the rest of the album we don’t hear much of anything else besides a little big of acoustic work on “Switchblade Part 2” and “And How You Change My Moods Like The Keys Of The Machine.”

I wouldn’t classify From Aphony as sounding like everyone else out there, but they just need to find their own special spot in the music scene. Time and touring are the best thing to make that happen. Maybe with their new stuff there will be a little something more standout.

    Hah From Aphony was fucking amazing 2 years ago.
    2 years ago nobody could touch them. Nowadays, they can’t even bring as many people to their shows like they used to. I’ve seen From Aphony probably 60 times in the past 3 years, and their performance wise has gone down and it’s disappointing. And if you don’t agree with me, than you obviously don’t know or have seen what an amazing live performance from them looks like.
    I wish they would step up their game more.
