A Love Ends Suicide was brought to the attention of Metal Blade Records by Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying, and became the first signing and release on his imprint High Impact Recordings.
A Love Ends Suicide is a metalcore band and their strength is the excellent guitar work. The dual guitars of Oscar Cairoli and Matt Garcia showcase both straighforward thrash riffs and more creative flourishes and solos. You'll also hear plenty of metalcore breakdowns and double bass.
John Cairoli is the band's vocalist, and his style is hardcore yelling. There are also background melodic vocals from bassist Emir Abdo and some gang shoutalong choruses as well. This is a good album, but the problem is that even though the elements are well executed, there are dozens of other bands that sound exactly like this. Until A Love Ends Suicide finds a way to differentiate themselves a little more, they may get lost in the metalcore shuffle.
