Light Is The Language is a pretty unusual aggressive
metalcore band out of Enfield, Connecticut, USA, in the aspect that they
embrace spirituality by studying buddhism, taoism and even the kabbalah. I
don't know if this shines through in their music but they have are at least
not playing the same hardcore / noise metal that most other bands do these
days. Instead of only relying on speed and noice they have put their minds to
making their music more dynamic while still maintaining the aggressive touch
that comes mainly from the hardcore vocals. Even though I live in somewhat of
a hardcore / punk music nest in Sweden I have never been that fond of that
kind of music. I like it best when it is mixed with metal but then it helps a
lot of metal is the predominant ingredience. The music of Light Is The
Language lies somewhere between modern nu-metal and hardcore which will surely
make a lot of people fall for it but they do not impress me as much as they
could have. Being a first effort from a very young band this EP is still very
good though and fans of metal-hardcore crossover acts should definitely check
it out. I wouldn't be surprised if Light Is The Language will be on the
Relapse label in five years
time.
