The Remains In A View return with "No Man's Land," a four-track mini-album arriving three years after the overall positive "Elegies". Over the years, the Sulmona combo has undergone some lineup changes, starting with the always delicate issue of changing the frontman and transitioning from two guitarists to one. The final result of this "internal revolution" is found in this new work, a sort of appetizer in anticipation of a future album about which, at the moment, there are no details. The rust from the "break" years is not felt within the four proposed songs, strong in their connection to the early New Millennium metalcore scene, with As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red setting the standard in terms of artistic influences. The tracks are overall very enjoyable for those who love these sounds, with a pronounced live imprint that shows the members' desire to return to live performances as soon as possible. As mentioned earlier, the big news is the change of frontman, and in this case, we can say that nothing seems to have been upset in the DNA of the Sulmona group, as the new singer has the vocal skills to support the scene's weight without any flaws. "No Man's Land" is an EP written spontaneously and without too much fuss, which does not mark any artistic evolution but knows how to be appreciated by those accustomed to metalcore and its derivatives.
