Born and bred in Newcastle NSW, Age of Emergence are back with their anticipated new release The War Within Ourselves. And what a war it is! You can immediately hear that they have been working hard on pushing the envelope of their sound.
With a huge drum sound, a dry, dusty guitar tone and a strong bass presence Age of Emergence bring a few interesting elements together in The War Within Ourselves. You can hear immediate comparisons to the likes of Mastodon, Iron Maiden and even a sprinkle of Nevermore with the vocals having a slight Warrel Dane flavour. While the production may not be the most polished, The War Within Ourselves still sounds great, with all the elements of the three-piece having a powerful pronounced voice.
With this release Age of Emergence have a fantastic representation of their sound. would be impressive live, with massive Black Label riffs like in Two Halves, and Stone Cold Icarus utilising intricate dynamics the show would-be killer.
