A Rockin September Part II

This edition's band is somehow related to our beloved Sens. I first heard about this band on a Mike Fisher feature in which he stated they were one of his favourite bands and his good friends. They are also the artists behind the goals song you hear every time Fisher scores. Thousand Foot Krutch is their name and Welcome to the Masquerade is their newest album released on September 8th 2009.

I think EA NHL games fans would recognize the band as one of their singles "Fire it Up" is featured on the new NHL10 soundtrack. Great choice too as there is no way you can listen to this song without getting pumped out. Another great pumped up song is Smack Down which will definitely be played at more than a few sports events. The band has stated this song is an homage to We Will Rock You and I like it! And the name the single Welcome to the Masquerade is not only a great album title but also a great song that combines Trevor Mcnevan's great voice, hardcore music to give an introduction to the rest of the album. If you've enjoyed the above songs, the loud powerful trend continues with Bring Me to Life, Scream, E is for extinction.

TFK try to get a little calmer with songs like Look Away which is based on e-mails the band got from fans about giving up. Slower songs also include Watching Over Me, Forward Motion and Already Home.

Then there are the songs which I combine a little head banging with slower melodic tunes at times such as The Part That Hurts the Most and Outta Control.

Rating: 9.5/10

This album will get pumped up no matter what and has some great lyrics that offer motivation to never give up and hope to people who feel like they're alone in the world. Great album all around and has impressed me even more than the new Chevelle album. There isn't one song on the album that I can say I dislike.

Favourites: Forward Motion, The Part that Hurts the Most and Fire it Up
