Three Days Grace Plumbs The Soul For Infrared

Canadian hard rock stalwarts Three Days Grace have crafted a bone chilling slab of hard rock goodness with "Infrared". The chord progressions are utterly spine-tingling, as if they know exactly what buttons to push to elicit the maximum emotional response. I felt it right down to the tips of my toes. Lead vocalist Matt Walst does an outstanding job upping the creepiness factor getting to the meat of the matter, about how easy it is to be seen by the outside world in black and white. Moreover drummer Neil Sanderson pounds out beats like a man possessed. Guitarist Barry Stock strums as if his life depended on it. Bassist Brad Walst brother to Matt, holds up his end of the workload stupendously, banging out thunder with reckless abandon. As a whole this band has a brand like no other, fire and brimstone pulsating from every pore. Their brand of hard rock drips with vitality like no other. The lyric sheet confirms this time and again. Seeing a woman in infra-red...how very cryptic...and mind blowing. Personally my favorite track they have ever come out with is "I Am Machine" which had more of a battering ram style to it. Trust me when I tell you "Infrared" has much more of a melodic sensibility to it. Each passage bursts with an excitable oomph that will not be denied. The pacing is stealth enriched, letting the uninitiated digest every toothsome mouthful. In short "Infrared" is a feast for the ears.
