Over the past few months things have been pretty quiet in the All Forgotten camp, especially since parting ways with vocalist Jon Thorne and working with new vocalist Ex Kenai’s Dan Lawrence, however All Forgotten are now back with their new single ‘Deadweight’.
Previously the track had only been heard with Thorne on past tours (most recent being opening for American band There for Tomorrow). Upon first hearing ‘Deadweight’ as a complete track, my initial reaction is that it is different to what myself and other fans may have been expecting. Especially in comparison with tracks featured on the band’s 2009 EP ‘Transitions’, however new recruit Lawrence carries off the song well, sounding as if he has been in All Forgotten all along.
The song with its gripping opening, strong vocals and a backing of energetic acoustics and percussion, is a sure recipe for success. Additionally ‘Deadweight’ throughout has a perfect mixture of drops, catchy lines and pauses which leaves this track echoing in your head for days to come.
All Forgotten who along with the new vocalist consist of Tom Peacock (bass), Daniel Wheeler (guitar), Steve Foy (guitar) and Chris Velissarides (drums) have defiantly made known that they are back with a bang and are also appearing at this year’s Sonisphere festival alongside the likes of Bury Tomorrow & INME.
Overall even if the line up has changed, the track evidently shows the quality of music has defiantly not! And with an addictive track such as ‘Deadweight’, All Forgotten will defiantly not be forgotten anytime soon and undoubtedly a band to look out for in the future.
