Vagrants is a post-hardcore band on the chase for clarity. They have developed an album that explores themes that’ll keep the wanderers from wandering into the void. This type of music is true too, and the honesty that the band show is admirable.
As a young band, the act journey through their state of paranoia and mental stability. The aching and longing for a chance to see things differently keeps this band from stalling, and their music highlights their pain and suffering.
The album is focused on loud instrumentals and evocative lyrics, providing a morose listening experience. Though this is true, the band does not hold on to the past, but looks to the future and fight for their stage. The record manages to stand out as a result.
The album starts out strong with the catchy and poppy “New Beginnings” but quickly falls off into a more introspective and personal track called “Be Consumed.” The song is about the band’s struggles with self-doubt and how they’ve been able to overcome them through hard work and dedication. The song is a great example of how Be Consumed sounds complete and original.
The record starts off with a bang, with the pounding drums and well-triggered guitar riffs welcoming in the vocals. The chorus has been finely tuned, and the lyrics meet expectations. ..
“Skin and Bone” is an emotionally resonant song that increases in intensity throughout. The band fights for a clear picture here, as the lyrics demand it. ..
The song is about a young man who is lost and aimless, until he finds his purpose in life. The lyrics are simple but powerful, and the music is catchy and upbeat.
