Kerrang! The Album

Product Information

During the 1980s, Kerrang! published weekly heavy metal charts for singles, albums and import albums. Each was compiled from sales data from fifty specialist stores across the United Kingdom. When Kerrang! sat down with Frank Iero right before the release of Barriers, his third album under his own name, albeit with a different band each time, he told us that it would be his last record. He has been known to say that before, but his future looks like it could be decidedly busier now that My Chemical Romance have begun to stir again. If he’s right this time, though, it would be a massive shame, because Barriers is as compelling as it is heartfelt.

While Eternal Forward Motion is most definitely a record that sounds like it would spit in your face before punching you, this isn’t simply moping around. These lyrics have a very real meaning, written for the voiceless millions of disenfranchised youths, growing up into a shitshow of someone else’s making.” Read full review. Corey Taylor (vocals): “That emotion that you hear in this album is very real: that angst, that aggression, that depression and that manic frenzy to get away from that pain. I’ve always been the guy that can only really write from the standpoint of things that I understand because I’ve gone through them…”

It’s been a while since Slipknot have shown this side to their music, I’d probably say since Iowa or All Hope Is Gone. The lyrics are a mix of so many emotions from anger, sadness, and a feeling of chaos. It’s just a freakin’ masterpiece in the way the band put it together.”Second Death is a swipe at paedophilia in the Church and its culture of cover-ups, while Beneath The Surface takes a more storytelling approach to highlight social issues, and Holding Cells For The Living Hell shines a brutally honest light on mental illness. Fortune Teller is a propulsive call to arms that is musically evocative of their heroes in RATM, both in a touch of their sound, but more importantly, in their enormous middle finger. For Petrol Girls, calling out injustice wherever they see it and raising funds for grassroots causes is essential to their being. But what happens when fighting the good fight takes its toll on you, mentally and financially? You can hear this intuitive approach across the resulting 79 minutes. The Silent Man crashes into view like a rudely awakened giant, before inculcating a sense of stillness with echoing slide and organ that only serves to intensify the guitarmageddon that follows. Elsewhere, Nightwalkers is all God-cursing howls and scowling seriousness before, inexplicably, dropping into a propulsive drum and synths groove that would not have been out of place in a goth nightclub circa 1980. And labyrinthine, 13-minute closer The Fall is both beautiful and terrifying.
