Like Shadows

Providing the ideal soundtrack to your next Nietzschian nervous breakdown, Like Shadows is another high-water mark for AMPERE. Since picking up the flag for intelligent, literate screamo in 2002 when his former band, ORCHID, called it quits, guitarist WILL KILLINGSWORTH and the rest of Ampere have continued to push the boundaries of inventive, aggressive post-hardcore. Like Shadows is the highest-quality recording in their stacked catalog and the sonic crispness of songs such as 'Terminally' make all 28 seconds leap out of the stereo. Like Shadows' attack is refined and unbelievably heavy, but has enough dynamics to drive home just how seriously raw and powerful it's most explosive moments truly are.
