Upon A Burning Body

I've been keeping an eye on these guys since the singer was touring with As Blood Runs Black last year (I think). They recently signed to Sumerian and released some new material. Even though it's not really ground-breaking and unique, it's amazing. They might be making generic metalcore/deathcore music, but damn, they do it right. One of the things that really stands out about them is the vocalist Danny's voice. It's very understandable yet it maintains that brutality.

Ash Avildsen, founder of Sumerian Records, puts it perfectly, "Upon a Burning Body frontman Danny Leal has one of the most distinguishable and decipherable voices I have heard in years. With the perfect soundtrack of riffs and beats backing him and an explosive live show, there is no question what the very near future will hold for this band.”

So definitely check these guys out! They're for sure on my top favorite bands now. Not to mention, they do a jaw-dropping cover of Pantera's "5 Minutes Alone".
