Memphis May Fire’s second full length titled, Challenger for Rise Records will hit stores and online retailers June 26th. The album was recorded in Orlando, Florida with Cameron Mizell at Chango Studios. Check out the album artwork below.

Band: At The Skylines

Album: The Secrets To life

Label: Roadrunner Records

Release Date: May 8th, 2012

Purchase: iTunes or Pre-order Bundles

For Fans Of: Woe Is Me, Hands Like Houses, The Amity Affliction

The Secrets To Life  is the name of At The Skylines’ debut album which took a total of 18 months just to WRITE the album. Months later, the California 5-piece took a plane over to Sweden to record with the legendary, Frederik Nordstrom. If you have been an avid follower of the band, this album will showcase the hard work the band has put in over the years. In other words, the release didn’t happen over night. The catchy pop hooks sung by Chris Shelley mixed with electronic effects done by the band’s own, Shawn Yates is truly a remarkable listening experience in itself. Mark Barela, the man behind the vicious screams doesn’t hold back either as you’ll hear on the first track on the album, “Hush”. The band’s effort as a whole evidently did not go unrecognized seeing as the album is being released on Roadrunner Records.

The band’s success has not only landed them a record label but also landed the band a spot on tour with Enter Shikari. In addition, At The Skylines will be on the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour - dates will be announced early May. The Secrets To Life  is an album that includes what a lot of albums in the scene lack: energy, creativity and variety. The classic It’s Cherried was re-recorded for the album and it sounds better than ever. The guitar work in this song is incredible and adds a nice touch overtop of the typical “chugs” known to many. Although, It’s Cherried is an ATS classic…it still is a solid representation of what At The Skylines’ sound is all about.

They seem to have no problem seamlessly combining heavy intros (ie: The Amazing Atom) with upbeat sing-along choruses (listen to every song on the album). Though the final song on the record appears to be the least-heavy song on the album it still has it’s heavier parts that every fan will enjoy bobbing their head (most likely off-beat but who cares!) The breakdown in 143 Princess makes it righteous to bob your head off beat as the breakdown has a cool groove to it. This song happens to also be a song that allows both vocalists to shine; particularly Mark Barela’s low growls. Absolutely deadly.

Unfortunately, The Secrets To Life didn’t get enough attention as it should have. Hopefully this changes when the album officially drops on May 8th. If you were lucky enough to grab a copy of the album while they were on tour with Enter Shikari, spread the word. If you weren’t….May 8th is your chance to catch up and share this listening experience.
