Formed in 2012 from breakups of previous projects AS A CONCIET is a five piece Metalcore band from Venice, Italy. Now, you’d think that the very northern parts of Italy wouldn’t even know anything about Metal never mind Metalcore, but once you hear these guys, you’ll be blown away.  Starting with their first track “Rainbringer” I must admit it’s a quiet start but soon you are hit in the face with some powerful screams from the vocalist Fabio Bullo. You would never have expected these 5 guys originating from Italy, I mean personally it’s hard for me to believe it, but it’s happening. Next we have “Integrity”, you really are just shocked on how powerful Fabio’s vocals are, as you get through the song you can definitely feel the Hardcore / Metalcore vibe especially with the sing-along which you definitely didn’t see coming, from upon hearing the first track.

“The Blue Ringed” is the third track on the four track length EP and is straight in with drums and guitars, there’s no quiet start so it’s pretty much an “in your face” kind of track, which is what everyone needs in a while. This is where the clean vocalist/bassist’s talents shine, Filippo Dart’s vocals are heard in this track which makes the band fill out their Metalcore shoes. Lastly the fourth track “Rough Waters” where once again the track starts with an instrument straight away. In this case it’s Fabio’s vocals. This is a much faster paced song, the continuous guitar notes, gives room for the vocals throughout the track. There are also group vocals in the song which changes the track up a bit, which is definitely something a band needs. Ending with melodic/riffs I don’t think there is any better ware to finish a Metalcore EP.
