Italic - Essential Track

Bringing forth melody and mixing it with a fast-paced true hardcore music is not uncommon these days. However, nobody seems to deliver better then Saints Never Surrender. Even though they recently disbanded, the mark of SNS is eternal. And what better to send-off to then "Brutus"? Released in summer of 2008, "Brutus" is less of a CD and more of a saga. The album begins with a soft acoustic instrumental entitled, "Swan", before swiftly blasting-off into a cavalcade of gang-vocals and a very beautiful guitar lead making "This Moment" the beauty that it is. The album continues with tracks that make you either want to move, shout, or just shed a tear. "Brutus" has a number of tracks that catch your ear because of their sheer originality but mainly for their "close-to-home" reminiscence. My personal favorite song on "Brutus" is hand down "The End to the Epic". This is my favorite because it demonstrates everything that SNS stands for and an insight to their final times as a band. It has an epic sound and don't fail to make you tap along. The guitar work is hands down the most remarkable on the album. The vocal can be a bit sketchy at times but at the end of the day, that's what makes SNS so original. The album concludes with "The Quest", a ten-and-a-half-minute epic that never lets you forget "Brutus" and how truly beautiful the album is as a whole. An overall keeper.
