DEFINING ALBUM FINALLY SEE'S RE-ISSUE.
A Life Once Lost is the latest musical inferno to blaze brightly from yet another creative spark out of the crackling ember that blackens and burns the dark underbelly of Philadelphia's extreme counter culture. There's something in the air, in the ground, in the water perhaps, within the Northeastern United States that continually gives birth to the most progressively pulverizing metallic hardcore behemoths the world has ever known, from the erratic, calculating mathematics of Dillinger Escape Plan, the psychotic poetry of Deadguy, the slow-burn hypnosis of Isis and the self-torturing artisans in Converge. A Life Once Lost proudly holds that banner aloft, charging forward with the brutal angst of their peers, but themselves uniquely informed by a mesmerizing combination of the cornerstone groove of Sabbath, the staccato punch of Meshuggah and the punishing vocal sensibilities of lamented Midwestern sons Coalesce. Originally released on DEATHWISH, "A Great Artist" was the album that raised the bar in ALOL's sound as they began to add in the mathematical grooves taht would make their Ferret debut "Hunter" a resounding sucess. Now the album finally see's re-issue after a couple of years out of print!!
