Dead Aisling<\/h1>\n

<\/i>by Megan Trihey<\/p>\n

Dead Aisling\u2019s flawlessly melodic, hauntingly hypnotic self-titled debut album is an essential trip for music connoisseurs who have been begging for a virgin sound amid this year\u2019s painfully mainstream batch of bands.<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s first track introduces you to lead singer Adam Richmond\u2019s forcefully gentle voice that will bite your ear one moment only to caress it the next.<\/p>\n

Without warning, you\u2019re launched into “Blood and Family,” the second track, a furiously catchy song that, while heavy, invites head-banging and table-top dancing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never been scared by an intensely dark and alluring song, turn off the lights and listen to track three.<\/p>\n

The chorus of the fourth track, “Song for a Darkened Sky,” will inhabit the caverns of your brain for days and you still won\u2019t get sick of it. The smooth electronic melody pushes the band past punk, goth, or rock into a genre that has yet to be coined.<\/p>\n

The soft, organic guitar carries track five from one growling verse to the next and is another one that will likely find its way into the depths of your memory and remain there.<\/p>\n

On the album\u2019s seventh track, hyperactive barking drums battle the axe for attention and, at just over four minutes long, ends way too soon.<\/p>\n

The final track is a song turned into an unforgettable story that will give your feet a break, but not your mind.<\/p>\n

After listening to all eight tracks on the album in less than 40 minutes, play it again because if you missed one word or note, you probably missed the point.<\/p>\n
