ATP! Album Review: Blessthefall – Hollow Bodies

Don’t let the terrifying cover art fool you, Blessthefall is more than your average hardcore outfit. After a slight lineup alteration, solid rounds of touring, and two albums with the new lineup, Blessthefall has presented Hollow Bodies to the world.

The record opens with "Exodus," a thrilling introductory track with an eerie electronic opening to shows the listeners the hostile and empty wasteland for which this album will take place. The track really shines by the varying tempos that both present the themes of the album as well the emphasis on both Beau Bokan and Jared Warth’s vocal styles, which lead perfectly in to the albums confrontational single "You Wear A Crown, But You’re No King." Both tracks really show the muscle of the entire album. The juxtaposition of Bokan and Warth in this track are cleverly showcased from the band contributing dark and hard-hitting arrangements for Warth, while taking time to slow down for Bokan to provide a moment to breathe before he provides the clean reasons for the dirty deeds of the so-called “King.”

LIGHTS & Beau Bokan (blessthefall) Planning On Making Music Together

blessthefall frontman Beau Bokan has revealed in a new interview that him and his wife LIGHTS plan on making music together at some point eventually. Check out what Bokan had to say below.

"Can you imagine working together creatively? 

I think so. It’s something we have been talking about more and more. Right at the beginning everyone was like, “You guys should do a song together!” But we decided together we’ve never do anything just because somebody wanted us to. It would have to be something that came naturally and would be awesome for us to do. It’s a possibility for sure. She records all of her own music, she has her own studio, she tracks all of her own stuff – so we were talking about maybe me recording some blessthefall demo vocals in the bedroom or something to start [laughs]. Our whole dynamic is really amazing and something I never thought could really happen. I’m super excited about all the possibilities. I mean, I wish I had half of her talent, but I’ll do what I can do. She takes so much pride in what she does, and I think in her vein of music, very few people do it like does with the passion she has."
