\"\"Blah blah blah, deathcore sucks, blah blah, okay, we got that out of the way. Now, for everyone who likes it, come close and hear about one of the bands doing shit right. Deathcore can be incredibly varied as a genre, and among the hundreds of doggy-doo bands out there, a few break the mold. As someone who listens to a lot of different deathcore groups (judge me, I don\u2019t give a shit), North Carolina\u2019s Sold Soul <\/strong>are out here making progressive deathcore that surprises as much as it crushes your skull. Even if you don\u2019t like Lorna Shore <\/strong>or, like me, find their recent albums incredibly boring, Sold Soul <\/strong>is here for you. Their latest, Just Like That, I Disappear Entirely, is an amalgamation of slamming deathcore, inhuman vocals, raw emotion, and some true surprises. I wouldn\u2019t go so far as to call it avant-garde deathcore, but it is close.<\/p>\n

One of the first things I appreciate about Just Like That, I Disappear Entirely, is the lack of repetitive breakdowns. Songs rarely slow to a crawl for chug-time; instead, much of the brutality so inherent to deathcore is found through the thick atmosphere, rich production, and slamming speed. \u201cAs Whisper, Or As Bellowing\u201d takes a minute to writhe in its unsettling tone, with high leads and piercing riffs, only to drop into a ripping gallop that calls to mind slam more than deathcore. Stevie O\u2019Shaughnessy\u2019s vocals are varied and powerful, and in another point in this record\u2019s favor, he rarely spends much time gargling into the microphone just for the hell of it. Other than an offhand snort in the opening track, Sold Soul <\/strong>avoids much of the vocal breakdowns that have infected modern deathcore like a plague. In fact, Stevie occasionally busts out unique clean vocals that add to the atmosphere and feel right at home with the rest of the album\u2019s tone. Again, Sold Soul <\/strong>bucks trends by avoiding the typical fry, scream-singing so common in deathcore, or crooning cleans that kill momentum. The clean vocals are used sparingly and feel like an integral part of the album\u2019s core without overstaying their welcome. <\/p>\n

Just Like That, I Disappear Entirely has a strong emotional core bolstered by the consistent use of stringwork and piano to add to the already dense song structures. In another rarity for deathcore, the production isn\u2019t crushed by the weight of its disparate pieces. Guitars come through clearly, strings have space to breathe, and the vocals don\u2019t overtake the whole mix; you can even hear the bass. \u201cTo Spit Contempt on the Tail of Every Uttered Word\u201d features a twangy lead that charges into a blistering, grooving verse bolstered by Stevie\u2019s brutal vocals. One of the rare breakdowns on the album punches you straight in the teeth over and over, and is done as soon as it arrives; nothing on this record overstays its welcome. Before you know it, staccato bass and guest vocals from Kukeille take you on a journey back into the unique lead work and Stevie\u2019s crooning howl. <\/p>\n

Just Like That, I Disappear Entirely is rich, dense, and well worth delving into. The string work on \u201cA Lament for an Abandoned Heaven All Us Who Lay Beneath\u201d is downright gorgeous, and, despite the melodramatic song titles, the band isn\u2019t afraid to have a sense of humor, as shown in a snippet of their recording session at the end of the album\u2019s penultimate track. Sold Soul <\/strong>is doing deathcore right, don\u2019t let the genre stop you from enjoying this monolith.<\/p>\n

Tracks to Check Out: <\/strong>\u201cFor I Can Endure No Longer,\u201d \u201cA Lament for an Abandoned Heaven All Us Who Lay Beneath,\u201d \u201cThat Stranger in the Red Suit, and the Many Things He Promised Me.\u201d<\/p>\n
