So many that consider themselves serious metalheads shy away from screamo due to the over-glossy vocalization in much of the music, but A Change Of Pace are aptly named, they really do offer a bit of a different angle on this type of music. As well, there are many out there that can really appreciate the melody inherent in such an ensemble and the key to the success of this band's sound is the fact that they tend to build to crescendo instead of alternating back and forth between sounds in a schizophrenic manner.
Possessing a strong set of pipes, Torry Jasper brings a bit of a punk sound into the mix, while the guitars alternate between taut modern rock and super-heavy picking that gives this band its metal edge. While a great deal of the group's lyrics are delivered with melody, the screaming, whether it comes from Jasper or bassist Johnny Abdullah gives this music a measure of potency that balances well with the band's post-punk songparts.
A Change Of Pace show that they are not only worthy of your attention with this album, they also run the risk of being the next Hawthorne Heights-type of cross-over success. 'Death Do Us Part', 'December' and 'Every Second' back that statement up all the way. Vote them most likely to be the next most watched faces on TRL and similar programs.
