Chasing Victory’s newest album, Fiends, has come a long way since their first album, A not so Tragic Cover up. The first album and the second, I Call this Abandonment, have a style that has an uncanny similarity to that of Underoath’s middle projects. Their newest album has a little more classic southern rock influence. It is not quite the popular “screamo,” that seems to be on its way to becoming something mainstream these days. Rather, Fiends has a little more of a harder feel, almost with a touch of metal. Singer Adam Harrell still does some screaming in that scratchy voice, so you can still tell that it is indeed Chasing Victory; however, the album has a lot more singing then their previous ones, which Adam attributes to their producer. Fiends has a spiritual foundation and discusses the temptations that people face in everyday life, such as addictions. It even has a song titled “Carnies.” I’m still a sucker for their EP, but this album is worth checking out.
