With
Yesterday's Rising's
Brandon Bolmer replacing vocalist
Craig Owens and
Underminded’s
Tanner Wayne taking the place of drummer
Derrick Frost in their new lineup,
Chiodos stick to their emo-screamo-hardcore blueprint for
Illuminaudio.
Bolmer has a powerful voice, and he shares
Owens’ range, with the ability to alternate between broadway high notes and a metal wail. Meanwhile,
Chiodos seem to have found their comfort zone. They shred ambitiously, without ever allowing their licks to get in the way of the big, emotional hooks.
