Review
Christian metalcore outfit MyChildren MyBride's sophomore effort differs its 2008 predecessor with different approach to the genre. The basic tenets of the style (toneless screaming and staccato riffs layered over a foundation of tight, dry, double kick drum pedal bursts) are represented on Lost Boy, but the machine screw production and tone-deaf melodic structures that often accompany those parameters are not. Guitarists Robert Bloomfield and Daniel Alvarado perform basic jackhammer riffs, but they also know how to take those riffs and bend them into more melodic structures. Tracks like “Hooligans” and “Redeemer” benefit from the old-school punk gang vocals, and producer Matt Goldman (Underoath, the Chariot) allots vocalist Matthew Hasting's voice (which is effective and without "Cookie Monster" style vocals) the room it needs to be heard, resulting in another release for both the band and Solid State Records.
