Eyes Set to Kill is a post-hardcore band hailing from Phoenix, Arizona. Their melodic guitars and almost constant double bass pedal action is fronted by a female vocalist with light tones, similar to Hayley Williams of Paramore. Even though she barely holds a growl on this record, their keyboardist handles the screaming, as well as his piano solos. This band is definitely a unique combination with three boys and three girls playing awesome music together.

Their debut album, When Silence is Broken the Night is Torn, has a total of nine tracks with one being a piano interlude and another being an intro. Though the playing time is similar to Atreyu’s latest non-greatest hits album, it would be much more fruitful to choose Eyes Set to Kill since the album is accompanied with a DVD. There isn’t much originality on this record besides the fact that there’s a girl singer leading a band with a sound similar to Emery, but they seem to pull it off effectively. Lead singer, Lindsey Vogt, has a soothing voice which makes the music more malleable. The only problem surrounding her voice is when she hits the high notes; she adds an effect to her voice where it almost sounds like it cracks. From the first track, it can be almost unbearable, but looking past that effect she adds to the overall tone of the songs isn’t bad.

Alexia Rodriguez is an amazing lead guitarist. This whole album paints an awesome picture of her work. On this new album, she makes good use of her guitar licks playing better than some of the mainstream Hawthorne Heights sound-a-likes. The music is complimented by great lyrical crafting as well. It’s highly recommended that after you listen to this album that you go back and listen with the lyrics booklet open in front of you. The concepts aren’t anything new, but they give the music its life after the breakdowns run their course. “Liar in The Glass” and “Pure White Lace” are good examples of their wonderful lyrical craftsmanship.

With the west coast post-hardcore scene spreading beyond its borders, it’s good to see that good rookie bands actually still exist. Eyes Set to Kill keep a Paramore attitude with an Escape The Fate sound. These boys and girls are going to bleed onto the mainstream quite well with When Silence is Broken the Night is Torn. Their light and dark vocals leading their orchestra of hardcore filled influences will break them out in time.

You know, I find myself really into this disc. I like the pianos and female vocals interspersed with the standard run-o-the-mill metalcore. It's better than 85% of the other copycat bands.
