Desert Beneath the Pavement - Transit

Desert Beneath the Pavement is a post-punk/hardcore band from Germany that started up within the past few years. The album, "Transit" is their debut album, and I was completely taken back at how fucking good it was. The album starts out with some slow single guitar parts, and eventually evolves into a full dark and heavy sound. The whole album is absolutely beautiful from start to finish, with slower softer parts flowing flawlessly into the heavier beast of the music. Singing ranges from slow singing to faster yelling, but mostly the latter. This band definitely gets a lot of influence from Fall of Efrafa, but they manage to create something unique and their own. With "Transit", they've set the bar high for themselves, and hopefully they can continue to surpass it. Best songs are "For Futility" and "On the Truck Bed". This is definitely one of my top albums from 2012.
