Post-2003 was an odd time musically in my life. With the pop-punk scene raped, I ended up listening to what I would call a lot of shit. Ending up needing a new fix, I found two bands that quenched my thirst: Between the Buried and Me and Protest the Hero. Not only did they push me to try and become a better musician (it didn't), but both led into a very different direction.
I had never been a big metal fan. Just not my thing at all. Let's sing about playing with our dicks, or being too scared to talk to chicks instead. Mosh pits freak a guy like me the fuck out. I do wear glasses, after all.
Kezia was written by five guys who were still in high school at it's conception. It was a huge step-up, all things considering; their EP was mediocre hardcore punk at it's best. This is them going all out, and tracks like 'Blindfolds Aside' and 'Turn Soonest to the Sea' show that. Also helping is the underlying theme and concept about a young woman's execution, which is better left to listen than explain.
