Circle Takes The Square
As The Roots Undo

THE REVIEW

My first review, or a beginner in the field: so please don't hate me for the musical incompetence I may display.

The label is Robotic Empire, known for bringing innovation in the field of novelty, specifically emocore, though using this term purely for convenience. CTTS, in fact, do not merely imitate this already heavily exploited music genre (My Chemical Romance, to name a few), but they rework it in a simply excellent manner.
Here too, there is the dual vocal scheme, one female and one male, intertwining in an inextricable manner, with an almost perfect fusion of the scream parts with the emo ones, where each requires the other to provide it with optimal energy and significance, all mixed in very rapidly without a break, in an almost chaotic way.

Compared to Poison The Well (especially the latest ones), who are undoubtedly their main references, the more intense parts are truly so, extremely fast, alternated with exceptional melodies, profoundly deep, rich in arpeggios that soothe the previously stunned listener's ear, appearing as authentic diamonds in a sea of bubbling musical magma, only to betray him with more sonic lashes. The screamo voice isn't powerful but hoarse, malignant, giving these parts a truly gloomy pathos, while the slow sections are still sorrowful, yet of extremely refined taste, unlike most emocore groups where a bubblegum pseudo-punk is passed off as emo: as if a fragment of A Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms was nestled in the soul of a metalcore group.

Noteworthy is Interview At The Ruins, where a slow, majestic beginning is followed by an explosion of anger, which slides away at the end of the song and into the next, Non Objective Portrait of Karma, whose beginning inspires a sense of complicity and reconciliation with the entire world, and special attention to the lyrics, where adolescent-sexual themes are banned.

All that's left for you to do is try: after all, in its rapid alternation of sorrowful parts to those worthy of Arcadia, As The Roots Undo is nothing but a representation, in music, of everyone's life...
