With over 22 million plays on MySpace, three sold out U.S. tours and over 60,000 copies sold of their last album HIS LAST WALK (2006), the story of bless the fall is already an impressive tale. WITNESS, the band's second album is a brain-blisteringly epic aural assault, combining their trademark stabbing riffs and soaring melody with a whole new energy. Blessthefall has wowed crowds at Bamboozle, Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos, and on the road with August Burns Red, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu and Silverstein. Their live attack continues throughout the Fall by co-headlining the Atticus Tour.

Simply phenomenal...
I love music. Rock and roll is one the greatest things ever invented my mankind as we know it... I love all kinds of rock, metal, and such... At first, I hated screaming... I thought that there was no talent in it, etc. Over the years, screaming has grown on me. Now I love it. When I first got into screamo, I listened to early Avenged Sevenfold and Killswitch Engage. As time went by, I came to love bands like All That Remains, The Devil Wears Prada, Attack Attack!, Underoath, Trivium, etc. One day my friend showed me blessthefall. I liked their original portrayal of the "screamo" style. It was catchy, just straight up rock. Amazingness. Then, I basically forgot about blessthefall as I listened to even more, newer hardcore groups, like Escape The Fate, and Threat Signal, and Scar Symmetry. Then, I read somewhere that blessthefall was making a new cd, and I thought it would be pretty interesting considering the change in blessthefall's line-up. So I bought the Witness the first day it came out, from amazon.com. All I can say, is this: I have listened to A LOT of rock. A lot of metal. And an UNGODLY amount of screamo... Witness is one of the BEST heavy metal albums I have EVER heard. From start to finish, the album's sound is simply captivating. Beau's voice is flawless. The screaming is better than before. The drums are an orgasm to the ears. The guitars are just mind-blowing. Everything is perfect. The balance of melody and sheer brute force is at the perfect equilibrium. The style is even more original than the first. The production is miles ahead of His Last Walk. One of the best albums in the hardcore scene to be released since The End of Heartache, or Ashes of the Wake, or even City of Evil. This cd is downright PERFECT. Like they said... THEY AREN'T DEAD. They are far from it. They are one of the best heavy bands of this decade. BUY IT NOW. Support and experience the next greatest hardcore act of our time.

Great CD for a Crazy Ex
Really good CD! Only had to buy it again because I moved to Florida for a few months for an internship and my ex decided he wanted it back since he was getting married to someone else. I had it at my parents house back up north and I didn't know where they would be able to find it. Sent it to him and haven't heard from him since! Saved me a bunch of hassle and awkwardness! Thank you Amazon!! Also this CD is super awesome and it has one small track that will make you laugh!

Great, but could be a lot better
The songs on this are great, and this has been my first blessthefall CD ever, and maybe even first Post-Hardcore CD too. I played this countless times in my car and noticed that the darn major record labels just can't get past the fact that ruining the dynamic range has affected the review of this product. You can clearly hear the digital distortion from the intense limiting that they did during the mastering process of the making of the CD. I have yet to listen to this on other systems, but for the most part, it seemed to have a very blaring high end to it, that made ear fatigue kick in earlier than it should. Other than that, the structure of the songs is good, and there are some great mixing techniques and transitions to songs. Worth the money for the most part.

Old stuff is as good as the new
I bought this for my son. He says, what he likes about the album is that even though it is their earlier stuff, you can tell the band hasn't changed too much over the years. He loves the lyrics. Four stars instead of five because the sound quality is distorted compared to their newer stuff.

Great Arizona Band!

Bon album
Bon album de Blessthefall, le premier après le départ de Craig Mabbit au chant. Des chansons puissantes comme "What's left of me" ou "To hell & back", ou un peu plus soft comme "Hey baby, here's that song you wanted".

Ich liebe diese Band
Also ich glaub zu dieser Band muss ich nicht viel sagen :)Nach dem ersten Album war ich von diesen Jungs einfach begeistert. Nachdem ich hörte dass der alte Sänger die Band verlassen hat war ich mir nicht sicher ob dieses Album nur annähernd mithalten kann, aber ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.Ich kann nur sagen holen leute ;)Der Sound auf der CD ist einfach spitze :) klingt echt fetzig :)
