You were shown a group of some of the most talented young musicians rip through songs that you simply don't expect in this day and age of music. You weren't thrown into song after song of one note, dropped D, guttoral growl assisted breakdowns. Their sophomore effort "Selfish Machines" was lauded for the act's diversity. What seemed like another Black Veil Brides knock off turns into something else entirely, something enjoyable. Yet through this onslaught of things you would believe you've come to expect of a basic metalcore 101 band you are introduced to the technicality of lead guitarist Tony Perry. One moment you are led through a hard rock, no nonsense barrage of chords, the next you are listening to an assault of unique breakdowns. Putting Pierce The Veil into one specific genre is about as difficult as can be for the average listener. Review Summary: On paper it sounds like a bad idea, yet PTV's latest effort is among one of the most well executed albums of 2012.
