Trystan's Best #14: The Chariot - The Fiancee

Released: April 3rd, 2007

The Chariot's sophomore effort, "The Fiancee" is music that can barely be contained by its own parameters. Josh Scogin and co. take this ephemeral beast on a spiraling and destructive journey, almost careening out of control at times, but never losing sight of their goal: making truly passionate metal music. Each song is imbued with the band's own personal insights on faith and life and with it, enough badass fucking riffs and guttural singing to make you forget this is even a christian metal band. Standouts are "And Shot Each Other" and "Came To Kill", but the whole album is a complete experience by a band making wholly original music.
