With members spread out across the state of Ohio, metalcore band Dead Cassette put together what's been called a local supergroup of a lineup. The band recently released their debut single "Revive", then followed it with two sold out shows in Kent and Canton, OH.

Realizing that you’re stuck in a rut can be discouraging. The act of starting over and the uncertainty that comes with it can make or break even the strongest person and make them crumble under pressure. However, it only takes a spark, the thing that ignites a fire in your soul and out from the ashes comes your rebirth. After almost nine years of being a band, BlessTheFall found themselves trapped in that dark, disparaging rut in search of something to carry them into a new beginning.
That new beginning came in the form of their sixth full-length album, Hard Feelings. The main inspiration for the album centers around the band’s desire for a fresh start which fueled their motivation to bring forth some much-needed changes – like a huge label change.
With their fourth full-length album, The Plot In You shattered all expectations and delivered an album that introduced a side of the band that had never been seen before. Dispose is a total wildcard, taking a hard turn from the band’s previous releases and stripping away the screams and destruction that they’re typically known for. Their latest release harbors a sound that’s truly eclectic and a vulnerability that makes the album a groundbreaking addition to the metal genre and burns itself into your brain.

This album didn't feel like Miss May I. Miss May I never excelled in the field of metal-core, but at least they had notable moments in their careers. Rise of the Lion makes you forget all about those moments, because this isn't Miss May I.

Dingo bassist Philip Wiltshire talks about the band’s new EP, Inconsistent, out now.
Buried In The Blue
Buried In The Blue is the first song on the EP. We picked it to be the opener because it is a really fast, heavy yet very melodic song which hits hard.
Lyrically the song is about losing yourself and “burying” who you used to be.
People change, everyone does for the better or worse. That’s what this song is about.
Horse Or Carriage
This song is about pulling your own weight. When you’re doing something, make sure you put your part in and don’t let others do everything for you. You can either be the horse, and do the work.Or you can be the carriage, and get pulled through your life, burdening others.Which one are you?
Going South
Going South is very melodic, short and fast. The lyrics are not serious and were only written as a joke. We do in fact not praise Satan. Musically, the song is very powerful. Fast riffs and melodic synths and a breakdown which is very easy to jump to.
Vanity
This is a really heavy song with a hardcore feel. It expresses how much beauty ideals have been blown out of proportion. People are forgetting what really matters such as values and morals. “Climb your way upon the sharpest thorn” is one of the lyric lines from the song. The thorn resembles the consequences and more and more people are “climbing” higher and higher to gain acceptance.
Casualties
This is a song about America. A country that, in our opinion, has way to easy access to guns. Anyone can arms themselves. We think this is wrong. We think this is the cause of so many deaths every year, and it can so easily be avoided.
The songs message is that the people who run America and the people of America need to stand up and fight for what’s important. We decided for this song to be the finishing song of the EP because the end is very powerful, it has a lot of melody and almost an epic feel.
