From Autumn to Ashes - Holding a Wolf By the Ears

Holding a Wolf By the Ears is the fourth studio album from Long Island's From Autumn to Ashes. Their previous 3 albums have sold over 350,000 copies collectively in the US alone and another 75,000 outside the US. Many look at the band as one of the first to introduce a melodic voice into their music to offset the murderous screaming that brings the band's heaviness to the forefront. That ying-yang vocal style has since been copied by hundreds of bands around the world, none of whom can match FATA's song writing and catchy hooks. Basically, they're all just imitators. The album brings about a change to the band's lineup. Original main vocalist Ben Perri left the band, bringing drummer Fran Mark out from behind the kit. Mark had always handled the vocals for the softer, more harmonious side of the songs, but now he gets to showcase his incredible talent for screaming as well. Holding a Wolf By the Ears is heavier, darker, and more evil than any of the band's previous work. It's sure to please old-time FATA lovers (of which there are still many) and newer music fans alike. Bottom line this is their best, most original album to date. Time to bring on a whole new set of imitators!
