On their latest album Fiends the Georgia boys in Chasing Victory prove that they know how to dish out melodies as well as breakdowns. Fusing hard rock grooves with the sort of atmospheric hardcore that bands like Cave In perfected, Chasing Victory has made one hell of a record. It is dramatic and darkly cinematic without being over-the-top or turning into a parody of the genre (like all those eyeliner and vampire makeup wearing chumps). Fiends certainly proves that the band has progressed leaps and bounds past many of its screamo peers. By incorporating horns, dirty alterna-rock riffs, and soaring falsetto vocals, Chasing Victory shows enough creative vision to keep things interesting. Don't forget (however) that when the sun sets and the day is done, Fiends is a hardcore rock album. It is out now on Mono Vs. Stereo.
